Plastic Covers

Hi all, I just purchased an old copy of The Ring o Bells Mystery with a dustjacket on ebay (from our very own Mollybob I believe). It came in an excellent plastic protective cover. I have a few other very old (not 1st) editions with dustjackets and I'd like to get some of those covers to protect them. My local stationer looked blank when I asked so does anyone know where I can buy/order them. Thanks.

I get rolls of book-wrapping plastic and also plastic overs (such as those which cover library paperbacks) from D & M Packaging. I've always had excellent service from them.

I didn't realise I sold it to you. All these different names are so confusing

You can order a big roll of plastic cover, which you then cut to the required length. I get mine from D&M Packaging Supplies. Here's the link:

I find it really useful. I've used it for all my books.

Thanks both of you for that advice and links.

I'll get on the case right away.

Cheers.

Do you mean like a school/library book plastic cover? Which can be taken on and off easily?
Try WHsmith, they have them in different sizes.
