About Collecting Presidential Autographs

Many collectors choose to build their library around the presidents. Collecting presidential autographs can be one of the best thrills but at the same time can be quite tedious. The fact of the matter is, each presidential signature has its own story about the uniqueness of the presidents’ expression.

This is going beyond just the technical lines of the autograph itself. For example, the way in which a person presents their signature may be an insight into who they are as a person. This is precisely why collecting presidential autographs can be such a rewarding hobby.

Signed Limited Presidential publications are usually high quality and are produced to last generations. Many of them are unique leather bound editions with ornate decorations, gilded page edges, and other fancy bindings that you can expect. They are quite the luxurious and magnificent books that make the perfect gift for the historian and scholar.

Signature Authenticity: All presidential autographs in our collection are certified AUTHENTIC by the publisher and usually include a Certificate of Authenticity. Each edition has been personally hand signed by the president directly into the book. These are genuine autographs and not facsimiles, stamps, or produced by an auto-pen.

Hi Folks, I’m thrilled to announce pre-ordering for the new Under the Dome Slipcase. The case is made from a rich reddish/brown leather – (yes genuine leather not synthetic). It features a graphic of the title on the front and spine of the case and author on the side and will cost $29.95 -This case will fit all US editions of Under the Dome: You can place your order on the Buy Slipcases page.

• Signed Limited edition
• Gift Edition
• 1st trade edition

One of the major issues with this case was how to deal with the pack of cards included in the gift/limited edition while also figuring out how to get the trade edition (that didn’t come with any cards) to also fit without making two separate cases. Here’s how the design works:

For Gift/Limited Edition – The case will feature a removable “shelf” with a ribbon, you pull on the ribbon and the cards and shelf will slide out as one, you can then remove the book….Because the shelf is removable you can keep the book in the shrinkwrap if you want and just not use the shelf.

For 1st Trade edition – The case will feature a “spacer” wrapped in the same leather material as the rest of the case, This can sit either at the top or bottom of the case and is thick enough to fill in the height difference. I’m looking at putting a strip of double sided tape on it, along with a wax backing so IF YOU CHOOSE you can permanently affix the spacer to the case, or let it slide in and out like the shelf…

The trade edition is also a little narrower, we may just let the book be a little loose in the case or try to include something to help tighten it up on the inner part of the case, that’s still being worked out.

All cases will come with both a spacer and a shelf so you can use the case for either type of book.

Thanks much,

Description

From skcollector.com:

This case features a white faux leather grain pattern with the title in bold black text and the author stamped in red foil. The font was selected to match the font used on the book Dust Jacket. There’s an oval opening in the front that allows a portion of the beautifully designed DJ to be seen when enclosed in the case. A three sided inner box allows for very easy removal of the book with no excess tightness. The case is shut via hidden neodymium magnets -giving a very satisfying snap when closed.

Multiple prototypes were made (and scrapped) to get the design just right. From the materials used, to the shape and size of the oval window, to the number and size of magnets used to shut the case with the correct force while keeping it easy to open when desired. I’m confident you’ll love this case!
