Digital BW, The Print

My apologizes if this has already been discussed but I'm curious if 
anyone has experience coating prints simply to protect them from 
handling. I am printing a series of duotone images on a 2200 and Epson 
Archival Matte. The end result will be "bound" into a book of sorts 
and I'm thinking about trying to coat them. I don't have any 
particular need to change their dmax or appearance and I don't want to 
(significantly) degrade their permanence or stability, but I'd like to 
protect them as best as possible from handling. Any suggestions or 
experience?

Thanks
