The books on the way to you have the Brodart covers already

I do have some of my collection in Archive bag. A little warning:

I use clear tape to seal the bag after I've pulled the bag tight around the book. If you ever need to take the book out for any reason, completely remove the tape.

I didn't do that on a bag, pulled the book out and didn't realize the tape had grabbed the back of the jacket. Yep, it pulled a very nice chunk of the jacket off. I learned a valuable lesson. Remove all tape before viewing the book.

It might sound like overkill but I have several in archive bags with a Brodart cover on them.
