Those look pretty good! I'd be curious to see a actual cost of all the work. Between printing, paper, cases and the labor I'm guessing it's quite a bit, but it looks pretty nice in the end.

But don't you miss like tetris like challange of arranging the mis-matched game cases onto a book shelf. :roll:

i would say the total cost was around maybe 60 bucks at the most on printing and cases

Were there any specifications you had to mention or did they simply just print it? Your covers look real good although I might go with glossy since I'd only be printing 4 covers.

no specific specs really, just go to thecoverproject.net and when you download one they are already sized to fit. Just to let you know you can't really tell its glossy with it under the plastic cover... :wink:

I'd say go with the matte paper, as you can't tell if it's on glossy when it's behind the plastic sleeve, glossy is a bit more expensive, and if you're printing yourself the matte will dry faster. I have an Epson that dries within seconds of being printed, so my creation speed is determined by how many covers I'm willing to cut out in a day (curse my fat man hands!).
