Protect Your Dustjackets

Many people like to cover the dustjackets of books in their library. But how to go about it in a way that won't cost too much, is easy to do and most importantly of course, won't damage your book in the long term?

As secondhand and antiquarian bookdealers we all too frequently see books the value of which has been severely decreased because prior owner covered the book's dustjacket with an inappropriate material. Frequently, we have seen for example, plastic of the sort that newsagents and large department shops sell, carefully cut and fitted around the dustjacket, and then sellotaped down! Eeek!! Definitely not a good thing to do! This method sets up very serious problems for the future.

Sellotape should never be placed anywhere near a book as over time the glues change and leak and within a few years the tell tale brown sellotape marks are staining the dustjacket and endpapers. Plastic itself isn't a good option either. A material such as polypropolene or mylar is vastly superior and is what you will find being used by libraries with important material worthy of preservation.

Asia Bookroom is pleased to offer a good alternative. We have in stock a range of polypropolene clear dustjacket covering material in several different sizes. The polyprolene on these 25 metre rolls are ideal for keeping your dustjackets in good condition and for protecting and preserving old dustjackets. Each roll comes with instructions as to how to cut and fit the polyprolene on to your dustjackets. There is no requirement for sellotape or tape of any kind as these rolls come with a sticky strip which secures the dustjacket while not contacting the book at all. Recommended!
