A custom slipcase addressing the problems inherent in such a thick book where weak hinges develop from the text
block sagging has been designed and constructed and now houses the book safely. This custom slipcase contains an
ivory satin-covered text block support block (very smooth, so the lower page edges can slide across it safely
without snagging and yet rest on it while the book is in the case) with grooves on each side for the lower edges
of the book's binding and lower spine edge, with the whole inside of the slipcase lined in the same ivory colored
satin to prevent any rubbing or color transfer to the page edges. There is also a thumb-hole in the enclosed back
end of the case so no vacuum lock is created when inserting or removing the book from the case (always a problem with
very thick books). The cards, which are part of the limited edition, are now housed in a separate small slipcase built onto the top of the book's slipcase - which has
both a silver ribbon pull for removing them easily and also a silver ribbon with velcro fastener at the open end to keep
them safely in their compartment.
