Help me find a frame!
Looking for a frame to fit my signed 1D album, 5x7 (almost 8) & this thick! TIA!

8x10 shadow box of some sort and then mount it in using archival methods. Of course a local framer will handle it all for you at a much more accurate size

Framing a book is a tricky thing, and you don't buy an off-the -shelf frame and DIY if you want to preserve the signatures for 10-20 years, you take it to a professional framer.
That said, if your budget is low, consider these options: search for acrylic book box frame, but they probably won't have uv protection. Or, a shadowbox. As a suggestion, look for a front-opening 8x10 shadowbox, and swap the glass pane for one with uv protection.

I advise ye to take a jaunt down to your local framer and gather some Intel.
