Cover Book
What to replace a missing book cover with?
I recently brought a paperback textbook online and the front cover has been torn off. It's an average size book and none of the pages are lose yet. I would like to attach something to protect the book from further damage. Any suggestions would be appreciated, as long as it may work nothing is to tacky.
Did you buy it with the cover ripped off? If so, then you should contact the publisher and they may replace it for you.
OR you can just make your own. The only thing I can come up with is to take a gift box and cut a square of cardboard to match the dimensions of the back cover PLUS about an extra .25 of an inch (width-wise). Fold the extra quarter inch of cardboard to form a tab, put spray or craft glue to the underside of the tab, and attach to the spine of the book. It won't be perfect, but at least your papers won't rip out. Use gift wrap to cover the book, or use random pictures from magazines to make a collage out of the whole shebang (this'll take time, but you can do it while you're watching a movie on TV).
