#1 Nisha Sep 27, 2009 12:57:27	Some time ago I purchased a box of clear plastic book covers to use on my D&D books.  At the time I couldn't find a good variety of suppliers, so I ended up purchasing "Yearbook Covers", which were a bit pricey.  For the most part those have worked well, though they have an overfit that wears with time.  My supply is now low, and I need to reorder.  Unfortunately, I no longer have the receipt or credit statement for my original supply, and I can't remember the company.  Does anyone here know of a good, affordable supplier of clear plastic book covers that fit D&D books? Thanks!

I cleaned it off (it even got onto the page edges, yuck!) and there's minimal damage, but you should see my 1e and 2e stuff! Ahh, yeah. My 4e stuff has recently gotten the bite-mark of approval by Merlin (my cat). The DMG has a gnawed corner, the PHB has the top of the spine nearly chewed off, he sneezed on the MM, and has shown his acceptance of the MotP by putting tooth punctures in many of the pages. PHB 2 got "four paws up" when he knocked over a glass of water on it. 3e: DMG was the recipient of the cat puke. Also, he was sitting on the PHB when I enetered the room and startled him. Merlin did a burn-out on the cover and left some dig marks in the back cover, giving the Psionics and Epic-Level handbooks a matching set. My original 2e DMG is lost to the ages. Thankfully I was able to swap my old "Planescape:Torment" game to someone on the forums for a 2e DMG in great shape that kitty isn't allowed near. My huge binders of Monstrous Compendium pages is a casualty of a vortex that must have formed somewhere on South 22nd Street in San Jose, CA. We never found it. My 2ePHB? Hooboy! THAT'S a grizzeled veteran! The book lies flat no matter what page it's opened to. The cover is scuffed and scratched from the get-go. The pages are yellow. Houserules are written in the margins. I recently bought a "new" PHB2e from eBay. The seller apologized for the book's terrible shape. I sent him a scan of my old one. His looked mint by comparison! Well, at least the pages are still bound! I have three 1ePHBs. One is in terrific shape. One is in used shape. The other one is the horror story of my bookshelf. Warped boards, wavy pages, barely discernible artwork, it got buried in the mud at some point. I can't believe the binding is still intact and the text is still legible! All of my other 1e stuff is in fair shape, although a nephew I was babysitting mistook the MM and FF for coloring books. It's good work, he didn't scribble, (he wasn't a toddler, he just didn't understand that they weren't coloring books). Anything else is in okay condition. I just don't let cats or kids near the 1974 set!
