I like to read in the bathtub for awhile most nights. I started a new Stephen King book tonight. Since it was loaned to me I would like to keep it in good shape. I took the original jacket off the book and tucked it away for safe keeping and then I covered the book with a nice thick shiny paper jacket, just like we did with text books back in the 60s and 70s. Rather than use brown paper bags, which aren't as readily available nowadays, I opened up a discarded gift bag.
Stephen, meet Dora. She'll be keeping your book safe while it's in my possession.
If you are curious about the book covering technique, here's a link to a quick tutorial.
