Keeping Magazines in a Book Form
Several Boxes will Appear the Same as a Set of Books and will Preserve the Magazines
Desiring to preserve magazine copies without binding them, I made up a series of boxes that gave the appearance of books, and placed the numbers in order in them as they were received. The sides of the boxes consist of two thin boards, a little larger than the size of the magazine to be placed in them. The ends are made of the same material, wide enough to equal the thickness of the copies to be placed in each box, four or six numbers, or a volume. One end of these pieces is made slightly rounding, and the pieces are then put together as shown.
The rounded ends of the end pieces and the opening between the sides are covered with a piece of cardboard or bristol board, to shape the back of the box like a book. The finished box is entirely covered, like a book, with cloth or imitation leather. The backs can be lettered and decorated to appear like a book.—Contributed by R. M. Guarino, New York City.
