They are inexpensive, but the covers are not very attractive. They are 8. I am not sure how this would work on the binding, but in my head the rest seems like it would work.

Jennifer B. March 18, pm Reply. Quick question: How does Demco® CircExtender® Laminate compare to Demco Vistafoil gloss finish? We currently cover paperbacks with Vistafoil to protect them and extend their life. John Ison March 23, pm Reply. I think you will find that the products are very similar in use.

Both are available in vinyl and polypropylene but I avoid vinyl except for very short-term use. The polypropylene version of each is available in 2. Both products are available in pre-cut versions to speed processing.

Pre-cut polypropylene CircExtender is available in 2 mil thickness while Vistafoil polypropylene is 4 mil. The best answer may be that if you are satisfied that whichever product you are using meets your needs stay with it.

Stephanie April 12, pm Reply. I absolutely love this book and want to protect it as much as possible. What product do you suggest would work best? Any help is greatly appreciated! John Ison August 3, am Reply. I think your best solution is to use some type of slip-on cover. Please scroll to my response to CJ which is immediately following this.

I see that Demco currently has a clearance on a slip-on that is 6. Since you need only one, maybe Customer Service could send it to you as a sample.

Tell them the Book Doctor sent you. CJ McKague July 30, pm Reply. I see someone above asked a question similar to what I have. But they still top just as easily.

Your best option would be a slip-on type cover in which the covers slip into pockets to hold it on the book without adhesive. Three options are available at Demco. com: Slip-On Book Covers Clear Choice Book Savers CoLibri Pouches. Stephen M May 2, pm Reply. How can I get rid of them and how can I prevent it during application?

Leah Wright July 19, am Reply. I have covered my paperback books with laminate from Demco. I there anything I can do about that? Theresa M Sabo September 4, pm Reply. Which demco laminate is least likely to have bubbles? No matter what method I try there are still bubbles.

I am covering paperback books for an elementary school library so I need long lasting protection that will go on without bubbles. Emelia Haglund September 5, am Reply. Thicker films tend to have fewer issues with bubbling. The thickest cover we offer is Demco® CircExtender® Rigid Cover IV, which is a 15 mil polyester.

While these options should help minimize bubbling, they are an inevitable part of book covering. It is possible to gently aspirate with a fine needle, then smooth down. A small dimple is still visible, but less unsightly than a bubble.

Susan Weeks December 3, am Reply. We have paperback bibles that are stored in the pew rack on the back of the pew. How do we keep them from splaying open where they are taller than the holder.

We have tried turning them over each week which only makes the other end curl. Your Name. Your Email. Your Website. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. John Ison and Emelia Haglund. Protecting Softcover Books Softcover books — paperbacks — play a vital, though sometimes underappreciated, role in library service.

The film in protecting material sold by Demco ranges from 2 to 15 mils. vinyl : All of these are types of plastic film, but polyester is much stronger than polypropylene or vinyl. We recommend using vinyl only for materials you do not expect to retain for an extended period of time.

Repositionable adhesive: The adhesive in the covering material does not form a permanent bond for several hours after application. This is intended to allow the user to carefully lift the covering material, if necessary, and reapply it to eliminate creases or air bubbles.

All CircExtender® products use repositionable adhesive. Acid-free or pH neutral: Any acidic material in contact with paper will cause the paper to discolor and deteriorate.

Any material used to protect softcover books should be acid-free and chemically stable. For more information on the pH of materials, refer to my Book Repair Supplies and Materials blog post.

All the products that Demco sells for protecting books are acid-free. How to Protect Softcover Books The products you select to protect specific softcover books will depend upon the value of the book, the amount of use you anticipate it will receive and how long you expect it to remain in your collection.

Tape Mass-market paperbacks are generally the lowest-cost books you will buy and you may wish to discard them after several circulations. Depress the platform and slide the book under the cutter lip with the spine facing right. The outriggers can be extended to support large books.

Line up the lower corner of the book's spine on the spine guide. Pull the tape out to the end of the book cover and line up the edge of the tape parallel with the spine.

Press the tape down on the book and slide the cutter to trim the tape. Press the book down and slide it toward you. Press the tape down onto the spine of the book. Slide the book across the applicator to adhere the tape to the opposite cover of the book. Laminates Demco offers a wide variety of laminates designed to meet different needs.

Lay the open paperback on the Demco® Laminate and cut to size, leaving approximately 1" around the edges. Remove the liner paper by peeling away at the split. Lay the laminate on a flat surface, adhesive side up. Center the spine of the book on the laminate.

Roll the book first to one side of the laminate and then the other. Smooth gently with a bone folder to eliminate air bubbles. Cut away the corners of the laminate at a 45º angle. Also slit the laminate at the corners of the spine at a 45º angle.

Fold the overlapping laminate around the book edge or material and secure to inside of the covers. Trim off the remaining center tabs at the spine. One- and Two-Piece Covers Choosing your preferred style of cover may involve a bit of trial and error, and you will likely find that some styles are best for some applications and other styles work better for different materials.

Semi-rigid Covers The 5 mil front and back covers provide outstanding protection for larger books while the material in the spine area is 2 mils thick to retain flexibility.

CircExtender book covers. CircExtender Semi-rigid Covers. Rigid Covers Use 15 mil polyester front and back covers to support your oversized softcover books.

CircExtender Rigid Cover IV. Remove the center strip liner paper and position the spine of the book onto the exposed adhesive.

Note: For precuts without a center strip liner, remove one side of liner paper and roll book onto adhesive. Remove one side of the liner paper and roll the book onto the exposed adhesive. Repeat for the other side. Use a bone folder to gently smooth out any air bubbles.

For 2. For 7-mil material or thicker, you will want to trim off excess along the book edge. Fold the excess material over the book cover and smooth with a bone folder. Time for a book checkup?

Look into getting a review from one of these options:. If journals like Library Journal and Publishers Weekly or Kirkus accept your book, they will charge you to have their staff read and review it. An extra boost that may be beneficial to your cause is hosting a local library event. Not only does this give you exposure, but it creates some buzz around the library.

It also never hurts to have family and friends support your cause. If you go the route of hosting an approved author event, make sure your attendance numbers are through the roof! Grab your neighbor, coworker, significant partner — anyone. Have a full house at your event and show the library the local community excitement that surrounds your book.

Audiobooks are big, and just getting bigger. Authors can apply directly to OverDrive, but the chatter is that they rarely accept indie authors unless you have many audiobooks.

On the other hand, Findaway Voices operates like the eBook distributors we mentioned above. If you distribute your audiobook through Findaway, You can select to include their library partners like Overdrive and your book will be available in many library systems.

Same as eBooks, once your book is available on library service providers, you need libraries to provide it to readers. Get your family, friends and fans to request the book and listen to it.

So yes, the royalties do get chipped away at, but if you get a large volume of checkouts, you can still see a nice check. Seems like a lot of hassle, right?

Well, it can be, but the reward can also be nice. Having your book on library shelves builds incredible trustworthiness across readers. Also, libraries can mean a lot to authors. Again, this plays into the whole credibility idea.

Public libraries purchase books from publishers or distributors. When they do that, authors then receive royalties from their publisher. The more copies a library buys from a publisher, the more royalties that author will earn! Really, though, the real financial benefit to having your book stocked by libraries is that this boost to credibility will lead to more exposure and ultimately more sales.

Authors, have you been successful at getting your book stocked in libraries? How did you do it? They used to pay out a lower royalty rate than Findaway Voices but they now payout the same as FV.

This article would be a lot more helpful if it actually provided resources. A pep talk is nice, but serious folks need resources and opportunities to go along with them. List of wholesalers? List of libraries friendly to indie publishers? Current trends in price for paperbacks? Hey Cece! These are totally valid points.

Unfortunately, libraries friendly to indie publishers can really come down to a case-by-case basis. I recommend starting with your local libraries to see what their policy is, then branching out from there. This is a great link clarifying the differences between distributors and wholesalers; it also gives contact information for both services from some reputable big names in the publishing world.

I have been giving copies of my first book to a local famous Montreal library and are selling quite fast. My second far more extraordinary book will soon be available and it is a comprehensive account of the ultimate nature and of the scientific philosophical origin of the universe based on the Theory of The Theory of Everything.

Months ago, I received an editorial review of my self-published book which said it would be excellent in community and library collections. I looked everywhere for info on how to do that and found nothing. Today I tried again and wow! I feel fully informed. Thank you!

Hello to all! First off, great article!! I would like to share a little advice since I have successfully applied to my local library and I have a copy on the shelf for checkout!! So, cut to the chase—1. Publish your book I use Amazon Kindle Publishing in either Audio or Paperback format.

Contact your local library and ask how to get your book submitted into the library system. I live in Florida and our system is very friendly to Indie Authors and there is an entire page dedicated to showing you how to get on the shelves.

Get all your friends and family to ORDER COPIES OF YOUR BOOK FROM THE LIBRARY!!! I call into the local radio station weekly and advertise my book for on air!!! Great free advertising tool!! When the libraries get back to allowing book signing events I will set that up also to get more exposure!! Hope the info helps!!

Any questions hit me up thesmellytimes gmail. Oh Yeah!! Go check out my book on Amazon. org and type in THE POKEY: A JAILHOUSE MEMOIR by David Roundtree. How do you get someone to do a Audiobook for you?

Great article. You must request a LCCN from the library of Congress. This starts on the PCN page for self-publishers. A step-by-step video is available on YouTube.

Next, you can get a CIPblock, often formatted by a hired retired librarian. How to Get Your LCCN Number Next up is the LCCN number Library of Congress Control Number aka Library of Congress Card Number.

This is a number assigned to the Library Of Congress bibliographic record of your book. The LCCN number differs from the ISBN number in that an ISBN is assigned to each edition or format of your book while the Library of Congress number is assigned to the work itself.

This is a two-step process and can take anywhere from one to two weeks to complete. This is a free service, but you must mail a published copy of your book to the Library of Congress.

The Society holds a strong collection of salesman's samples or dummy books, which have also been called "blads. This form of marketing was common in America during the years just before and after the Civil War. It was unlike the phenomenon of the same name in the eighteenth century, when subscription publishing was used to finance or at least to assure the success of an edition prior to printing.

A typical specimen book of the nineteenth century consists of sample sheets in a sample binding. Sometimes these sheets are in a prepublication state and thus may have bibliographic interest. A customer could choose among alternative styles of binding, and a sample book usually includes the spines of available styles mounted inside the covers.

The sample book might also include a printed prospectus describing the virtues of the work or edition with recommendations from well-known persons. Most specimen books also include blank forms on which the salesman entered the names, addresses, sometimes occupations, and the number of copies his subscribers agreed to purchase.

Subscription forms can provide demographic information on book ownership, if not on actual readership. The Society holds over salesman's sample books issued before ; about of these were issued before Hiromi Paper, Inc.
