laminating paperback books?
by North Adams Library 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Many trade paperback books now have a cover that is extremely glossy and the usual laminating film from Brodart, Demco, Gaylord, etc., will not adhere to them. Bubbles and creases will appear before your eyes. Has anyone found something that will adhere to such glossy paper? I want to put something on the new "Discovering Michigan County by County" books, but they have that glossy cover. Thank you in advance.
