Okay, heres what I did...

Step 1. Measure your book (HxW) My book is 91/2 inches tall by 17 inches wide.
To find the width you will need, you need to open your book about halfway. This should
lay both the front and the back cover on the table, along with the spine. The covers
on my book are both 71/2 inches, and the spine is 2 inches. Voila, 17 inches.

Step 2. We need to decide the size of our sheet. First I added 4 inches total to the height
and 10 inches to the total width. It's apparent to anyone who's covered a book
before why we need this slack, but if you haven't, just trust me. That makes our total
about 14 x 27 inches.

Step 3. Preperation: Clean off your work surface. Gather your supplies.
