Hi everyone, long time reader first time poster...just kidding. Any ideas on how to mount a 1 inch thick hard-cover book in a shadow box to a suede mat? To complicate things I think it's going to sit on a certificate that we don't really want to puncture. Do mighty mounts come that big? Anyone with experience with this sort of thing? Many thanks.
 
I don't think I have the skills to describe Jim Miller's clear film book wrap, but I think that's what you want to do.

You could do a search for "clear film" or "mylar" or repost this to the main forum where it's more likely to get noticed by Jim and others.

Or maybe a friendly moderator will move this to the main forum.
 
I would consider using a copy of the certificate in this instance and puncture it so as to use Jim Millers technique with the clear film. Perhaps housing the original certificate in the verso of the frame would be a good idea.

An alternative might be to mount th book onto a sheet of clear acrylic above the original certificate.
