Overview of Dustjacket Protectors

Many collectors avidly pursue rare, high-priced 1st editions, only to neglect properly protecting their investment and preserving them for future generations.  One of the most important investments any collector can make is also one of the least expensive -- protecting all their dustjackets with protective mylar jacket covers.  However, it is important to not only cover their dustjackets, but to select the proper jacket protectors.  Not all mylar jacket covers are created equal.  In fact, although the price differences are relatively small, there is a wide range of products and quality to consider when choosing jacket protectors for your collection.  Many of those who are willing to spend hundreds of dollars for their books, are often remiss in choosing the quality of jacket covers -- selecting ones that do not provide the proper level of protection relative to their collection -- even when that piece of mind may cost less than 10 cents more.

 

As a collector, it is important to select jacket protectors that are of archival quality.  Archival jacket protectors are specially designed to have chemically inert non-yellowing plastic, neutral pH paper and adhesives.  Also, they will not have any printing on the paper backings, to prevent the possible spread of ink from dampness or moisture.

 


 

Over the years we have experimented with many different brands and types of jacket protectors. From among them, we have selected these exclusive jacket covers for all our books for their outstanding quality:

  • Chemically stable 1.5-mil polyester film with a specially formulated pH-neutral PVA adhesive
  • Ideal for rare and valuable books
  • Premium protection without losing the brilliance of jacket graphics
  • Ensure a quick and precise application
  • Adjustable to fit any book jacket size

 

Understanding Dustjacket Protectors and Words of Caution to Collectors

Keep in mind that bookstores will often use economy or standard jacket covers for their inventory.  Although these covers offer protection during shelving and handling, they are not intended for long term use as the materials in economy and standard jacket covers are not inert nor chemically stable over time.

 

Are you familiar with the materials used in your dustjacket protectors?  Are you sure they are properly protected?  If not, you may wish to review the composition of your storage products by viewing the manufacturer's specifications.  For more in depth information on the different plastics used in dustjacket covers, please see our webpage about mylar.

Sizing Recommendations
We recommend 10" dustjackets for most modern hardcovers & best sellers published since the 1970s.

We recommend 9" dustjackets for earlier popular fiction issued during the first half of the 20th century which typically ranged in height from 7 1/2" to 8 1/4".  Extra long jacket covers are recommended for book jackets with wider flaps issued during the 1920s & 1930s [such as the Houghton-Mifflin & Scribners jackets].

Always remember, for greatest sizing flexibility, it is better to order taller sizes since taller jacket protectors can always be folded over to accommodate shorter jackets, while the converse does not apply.
