Mylar Covers?

Post by AlexxKing69 »

I've seen various different heights and sizes for mylar covers but what about for odd shaped books like The Stand? Will that fit in a cover made from any roll?

Odd shaped like how? The limited doesn't have a DJ so no need for mylar. The trade seems regular in size

Well I mean odd like its shorter than pretty much all the other hardcovers but its also really thick.
So not really odd, just different than regular hardcovers.

And I also don't know much about mylar covers since I've never put one on a book or seen rolls of them or anything

They come in a few different heights, if I remember 9" 10" and 12" are the typical heights. The fatness of the book doesn't matter, it's the height you want to match up as close as possible.

Cut from a roll? Sure, the roll is going to be a specific height then you just cut as long as you need. If the height is a little to tall (say it's a 10" high roll and your book is 9", you just fold the extra over the inner part of the DJ).
