Veneer edging strips??

I wonder if anyone can tell me where i can buy some veneer edging? the type you can iron on.

I need it in beech no more than 10mm wide.

I built a bookcase today from argos and stupidly put it all together with the sides at the front showing the chipboard rather than the beech veneer  :-[

Cant take it apart and start again as the other side now has screw holes in it.  I've searched all over the net and all i can find is edging strips for kitchen cupboards in cherry or birch. I need about 3 metres of the stuff

Thanks, am going to go there tomorrow. On their website they only have wide strips for kitchen edges but its worth a try seeing as i live right by a b&q warehouse

Dont think you will get any 10mm,its usualy 15mm,just iron it on then trim with a stanley knife,the file/sand down.
And i have a small roll in my van

Managed to get some from B&Q. Not exact colour match but near enough. Was easy to iron on. Now i just have to trim it. Might wait til next weekend to do that as I dont trust myself at the moment.

Thanks for your advice ;D
