Hello,
Can someone post a link for correctly-sized clear protective covers for old hobbits? I have a bunch of old HM copies that need covers.
Thanks

I recommend brodart. I order a pack of sheets and then cut them appropriately.

1.5 mil super clear or lo-luster is what you want
no adhesive tab, but you can cut them so it stays without. I'll show you how I cut mine.
You can cover the entire inside if you want. I do that on my more expensive books.

The just a fold 9 “roll fits 2nd and 3rd edition hobbits quite well

Brodart is having a sale on their jackets covers in June if you want to wait a bit.

thanks, any uk/eu based alternatives? a quick search shows this brand has limited availability this side of the pond

I love the just a fold by Brodart. I have used over a hundred of them this past several months

That's not a helpful suggestion for someone outside the USA.
