On 13 Nov 96 Helen Fleischer said this about that to Sam Waring:
 SW>> Meantime, I'm Brodarting djs like crazy, 
 HF> Never heard that term before, Sam. Can you explain the technique?
     To cover the dust jacket with a fold-over mylar cover.  Brodart is 
one manufacturer of these jackets, and in the trade it's kinda coming to 
be a generic term, both as a noun and verb.  I'll occasionally see quotes 
where the dealer notes "All djs brodarted," and I know that he's trying to 
preserve the condition of the dj by covering it--whatever that condition 
may be, from mint all the way down to bits and pieces.  Brodart covers are 
just folded on and can be removed by unfolding it and taking the dj out, 
so it's a completely reversible technique.  The only problem I have is 
that some of the older ones had a kraft-paper backing rather than a white-
paper backing, and the acid in the kraft paper is browning the endpapers 
and the jackets.  I'm having to replace all of that kind in my own 
collection.
... Exceptions rule OK!
