Cel books in the uk?

Does anyone know of any places to buy cel books in the uk?

If not, does anyone ahve any recommendatios of suitable alternatives. I can import cel books, but would prefer not to If I can buy nationally

Hello,
Any good art supply store should have them.
They are sometimes called art archive books.
just make sure they are acid free and not the cheap ones, most of the time it will say on the package if they are acid free.
I hope this help some.

Your local art supply store may have them. I tried one of mine (I live in the UK also) and they didn't have any but it was only a small shop. My nearest art store after that one is quite a drive though so I was just going to pay the ?15 to buy an Itoya Art Portfolio online to save messing around. Would probably cost that much anyway by the time I've travelled around in search of a suitable folder. I'm waiting to see if I can get one a bit cheaper online though, I'm not in any rush at the moment.

Hi dandy_sephy

I had the same trouble when I wanted to get some cel books they just do not sell them here in the UK, and god forbid you actually try to get anything of non standard sizes
"if it aint A4 we dont know what you mean"
I even tried directly from Itoya with no luck.

I had to get them from ebay 11 * 14 fits standard cels and you can get them from here

You just gotta wait about a week for them to turn up.

If you do manage to find any in this country let me know will you

Cheers

Thanks for the replys.

When I got my first few cels, I pucrahsed a small zippable folder from my Local art shop, which is just the right size, but far from perfect. I do intend to have another look this weekend, just to see but I expect any suitable products to have inflated price tags.

That ebay link is very cheap (?7/$13), but shipping is a bit much ( ?18/$35). At the end of the day the combined price probably works out a great deal (?25 for 48 cels is enough for my next ebay order to finish filling), but in terms of cels, I can (and just have) buy 8-12 cels :)

I will have a think about it and look some more first

Thanks again
