I am currently working on a military shadow box and the customer has a WWII era food ration booklet that she would like to include. It is approximately 3 3/8" x 5 3/8" and 1/16" thick.
I would like to mount it so that all the edges show. Would I just treat it like mounting a book or magazine and use the 'book mount' technique (using the clear film Melinex #516), that has been discussed in other topics? I do have some mylar corners, but I think they might be more noticable than just using a piece of clear film to totally cover the front of the booklet.
I also plan to scan each type of food stamp that is still in the booklet and then print those copies and display them underneath the ration book.
Thanks for any suggestions that you can provide.
