Preserving and displaying signed book cover?

Hi,

A few weeks back I found out Donald Trump was going to be having an event about 30 minutes from where I live, and being the big fan of The Donald that I am, I figured I should take advantage of the opportunity and be one of the nutballs to show up 6 hours before and try and get an autograph.

Wanting something display-worthy and preferably with a picture of The Donald, I went through my mini library of Trump books and picked out a hardcover of "Think Like a Champion" to bring with me.

Got front row and after his speech he came down and signed a bunch of autographs, I got the book signed on the front cover, and now I've got no clue what to do as far as protecting and displaying the book. 

Any ideas or suggestions? Looking back I wish I had thought more about this part beforehand, but it was a last minute opportunity and I wasn't even sure I'd be able to get close enough or be able to get anything signed.

Thanks! 
(^^ Terrible picture but the best I was able to get... I'm proud to say I don't usually take 'selfies', so I was certainly fumbling, haha)

Very nice. I use Demco Superfold Sleeves to protect the dust jacket. Crystal clear Mylar. It would work great to protect the autograph on the front cover.

Awesome, thanks for the reply!

I'm actually looking more to frame the book, maybe hang it on the wall in my office or something. A regular picture frame wouldn't fit the book, and I don't think I want to try having just the dust jacket framed because that would require either cutting it, folding it, etc., so I'm wondering if they make frames designed to hold books, or would this need to be something custom made?

A shadow box is like a frame but deeper for displaying 3-D items. This may be your best bet if you can find an appropriate size. Places like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc. have them.
