HOW TO COVER A TEXTBOOK
1. Spread out the cover flat on a table.
2. Center the book vertically, making sure the top and bottom edges of the book are parallel to the top and bottom edges of the cover. There should be at least an inch of cover on the top and on the bottom.
3. Fold the cover up at the bottom, making a crease at the bottom of the book. Do the same from the top. Then remove the book and fold along the creases for the entire width of the cover. The cover is now as tall as your book.
4. Place the book back onto the cover, lining up the top and bottom edges of the book along the top and bottom edges of the cover. They should line up perfectly; if they don't, redo the above steps.
5.
Slide the book towards the right edge of the cover, stopping 1 1/2 - 2 inches from the edge.
6. Fold the cover up from the right, making a crease at the right edge of the book. Remove the book as before and fold along the crease for the entire height of the cover.
7. Insert the back cover of the book into the pocket you've created. Push it in all the way and close the book.
8. Fold the left end of the cover over the book's front cover, making a crease at the edge of the front cover. Fold along this crease for the entire height of the cover.
9.
Insert the front cover of the book into this new pocket. Close the book.
10. Secure the cover with clear tape: one or two pieces for each of
the four corners. DO NOT TAPE TO THE TEXTBOOK – ONLY
TO THE COVER.
