Standard jewel case packaging will include a "front cover" with two sides printed. However, that standard insert could include 4 or 8 pages - even in slim line cases easily. Regular single disc jewel cases can include even thicker booklets.

Online USPS priority clients for thin softbound books should consider using USPS flat rate bubble padded envelopes. This saves you further on packaging. This option is only available to online customers at this time.

Genealogy ideas

As a reader or researcher how many times have you heard, "The book has been written on that", only to find there is no access to it? Undertaking an authorized reprint is a way to benefit many, including the original author(s). Today, that book that has already been written, may have only had a handful of books published and none of them in public collections. For volunteer groups, this is also a way to begin working with publications that may not be as difficult or time consuming as producing original work.
