Slip Covers for Books
The wooden slip cover examples shown below are all custom fitted to the book and the fretwork cut out is used to highlight the illustration on the cover, along with the title. The cut out gives you an idea of what you might find on the cover, but the real picture is only realised by sliding the book out and revealing the rest of the story, much like opening and reading the book!

Prices for the sleeves vary depending on the size of the book, the veneer used and the complexity of the fret work cut out. If you would like a quote, I would need to have a photo of the book cover and its approximate size (in mm) Height x Width x Depth.
