Same here, Just-A-Fold III archival. Slipcased copies I often don't cover though. I'm pretty careful with the light but even still have messed around with setups where the spines are facing the back of the bookcases. That works best when the spines of the slipcases themselves are labeled and lots of them are, I assume for this very reason.
My Kane set is backward in the bookcase. I know what it is but it's not as nice of a showcase when you can't see the labels so I might try and cover them at some point. But there are plenty of multi-volume sets that don't seem to have any room to spare at all for covers and I don't think I'm going to try and force the issue.

That's what I have, too. The weird thing is, the last time I bought them, they didn't have this issue. Ah well, it's not like I'm pulling most of these books off the shelf very often anyhow.

What kind of Brodart covers do you use? I also use Brodart and don't have a problem with them sticking (also with then in a slipcase). I use Just-A-Fold III. I don't know if this would help. I would think all are the same but you never know. Mike

Originally posted by slayn666 View PostI recently acquired a copy of Jean Ray's Ghouls in My Grave in pretty good condition, but ultimately it's a 50-year-old paperback, so even if I were to wrap it in Mylar and keep it well-hidden from light, it's going to fall apart, and I want to actually read it.
I have been strongly considering sending it off to have it rebound as a hardcover. I imagine doing so will likely destroy any value the book has, but at this point I'm more interested in trying to preserve the damn thing than one day hocking it for a minor profit.
Does anyone have experience with that? If so, who do you recommend, and what does the cost usually look like?

I don't have to dig for it, but on the other hand it doesn't just slide out when I tilt the slipcase, either. A little jerk is enough to get it moving. Neither slipcase appears to be tight enough to damage the books, so I'll chalk it up to minor differences in size due to poor QC on mass-produced books.

Haven't had any issues with my CD slipcases either. Some leave a little more room, but never had to dig for the books

I've never had any problems with the CD cases, even when the dust jacket of the book has a Brodart cover. (I only use the cases for my signed trades.)
