    Thanks for the video. I rented books.

    This will help protect them.

    I used to use brown paper bags to cover my books when I was in grammar school.

    Makes me long for the days when your groceries came in paper instead of plasstic. Thanks for reminding those of us who knew (and forgot) about these book covers, and for introducing them to a whole new generation.! Great Work!!

    Oh, yes this does bring back fond memories! Not only does the brown bag make a great protective cover for the book, but it's also fun to scribble and doodle on it as well.

    My brothers and sisters used to do this when we were all still in school. Like another commenter said, somehow they used to slip the book into the flaps. This brings back sweet memories.
