No, the dustjackets are printed on a thick, semi-gloss paper. None of the foil stamps would show through. Much like the HC's you purchase, most have some kind of design or writing underneath the dustjacket.

Re: Custom Hardcovers
Thanks guys!
That's a good question, Puma. I really like the Joe logo stamped on the spine, and since the dies aren't cheap, I was only willing to pay to make one. So the logo got the nod.
One of these days, I might make some dustjackets for them all, and I've considered lots of artistic ways to ...

I've been a lurker for a few months, and I've ordered the first two HCs of the material you guys are beautifully coloring. Jamar encouraged me to join BFTB, so here I ...
