How to Use This Calculator
- Measure the book's height, width (cover to fore-edge), and total closed thickness in millimeters.
- Enter your davey board thickness — 2 mm is standard for most clamshell boxes.
- Read the overall closed box dimensions (height, width, and depth) to verify it fits your storage requirements.
- Use the total board pieces and board area outputs to cut your davey board efficiently.
- Use the cover cloth area in cm² to estimate how much bookcloth to cut for covering both trays.
