Duct tape Book Cover!

Step 5 Lit. book, side pocket.

Next you're going to open the book about halfway again, laying evenly on the sheet. Try to leave about the same amount on both sides, about 5 inches each. Go ahead and mark the sheet again where the book covers end.

Now close the book and open only the front cover. Fold the left side of the sheet along the line, and insert it into the pocket that is formed by the flaps. Push it in all the way to the fold, then close the book so that the back cover is facing up.

Take this opportunity to stabilize the flaps by placing a piece of duct tape on each flap, taping the flap down to the sheet where the spine will sit. This helps to keep the flaps from unfolding during prolonged or rough use.

Now open the back cover only. Fold the right side of the sheet inward on the line. Duct tape is flexible enough that you can insert the back cover into it's pocket with little trouble. Then push the cover all the way into the pocket to the fold. Then close the book.

Next, take a couple pieces of tape and fold them over the edge of the cover to hold the pocket firmly against the cover (front and back, top and bottom).
