Every book deserves a good place to rest. This book is getting a cloth covered clamshell box before going home. It protects the book from dust, light, and slows changes in temperature and humidity, plus it’s a nice way to present the book. #bookbinding #bookarts #clamshellbox #dropspinebox #bookconservation #preservationenclosure (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPleE2osx6j/?utm_medium=tumblr

This WW I diary will be much happier in its own custom clamshell box. The client is coming tomorrow so I just have to add the label and it will be ready to go home. #clamshellbox #bookbinding #preservationenclosure #dropspinebox #bookarts (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHx7FobpGE3/?igshid=1pa5pn14gpyb

Today we’re catching up on clamshell boxes in the shop. Two sets for a Chicago photographer and one box for a student at @scaddotedu Atlanta. These are big boxes, up to 16 x 20”. #clamshellbox #bookbinding #photographerportfolio #dropspinebox #lotsofbindersboard (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcTPl13pNCX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We love the part of workshop kit making when everything is stacked up and in neat piles. These parts went out for the Clamshell Workshop that starts next week. #clamshellbox #dropspinebox #bookartsworkshop #bookarts #bookbinding #preservationenclosure (at Big River Bindery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaA549vp1e4/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you’re looking for a great way to protect or present a book, our Clamshell Box workshop will give you the steps to make this beautiful archival box.
