"Where can you buy protective covers for books?"
Jeff writes:
I own signed hardback and paperback books. I'm looking for suggestions as to the best clear dust jacket covers/clear book jacket covers to purchase, including the manufacturer and product type. I don't want to use adhesive - I just want a clear material that I can easily fold over each book. I also don't want to use any type of bag over the entire book. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide.

Hi Jeff,
We do not carry any covers for paperbacks. We have found that comic books bags are the most economical way to protect paperbacks.
I understand that you do not wish to use bags. I have seen some specialty dealers (and collecters) use clear acetate. They buy acetate in sheets, then cut them to fit and crease at the folds. These do give a nice presentation, but are somewhat laborious.
I have used precuts on my paperbacks in the past. They may be a better solution for you. Here is a link to one supplier (others probably available on the internet once you know what you are looking for. Check it out: https://www.thelibrarystore.com/product/ad55-30000/book-covers.
For hardcover dust jackets, we do offer Jacket Covers for purchase here.
Hope this helps,
John
