Advice Needed on Mylar Book Cover(s)

[BasicGreatGuy]

I have a book from 1939 coming to me in the mail that does not currently have a dust jacket protector. The book is 7¾"-9¾." Anyone have a favorite brand they use? If so, can I get a single cover for the book somewhere, instead having to buy a roll or pack of ones that might fit that size? I usually buy my older books with mylar covers, so I don't know the proper route to go, for a book like that.

I don't know of anybody who sells single mylar covers.

I am a school librarian, guess what I have ;) If you shoot me an address via PM, I'll send you a few. My good deed for the day!

Bad idea. It is essential to know the acid content of the material.

"Whiskey Rebels: The Story of a Frontier Uprising" - Leland Baldwin ;)

edited to add: I feel comfortable mentioning it after the sale. :) The last time I asked for help with a specific book on here, it suddenly got bought up when it came available. :doh: Learned my lesson the hard way. lol

Even then it is recommended you change them out every few years. I have a decent size comic collection so I have had to deal with this lol.
