Book Exhibition Cradles

Improper display of books can cause irreparable damage. By their very nature, the objects exhibited are often the ones which can least afford the exposure. These clear book cradles were developed with the assistance of a conservator to provide displays which do not put unnecessary stress on the bindings of displayed books. Beautifully constructed of seamless bent 0.1875'' acrylic. We offer four cradles with two spine lengths and two widths which will accommodate books of different sizes and stiffness. For larger books, you may want to use two cradles of the same dimension. Once the book is on the cradle, use our clear Polyester Strips to hold pages open.
