OK, first Helen makes her own "covers" for her books. Then she makes her own boxes for the "box sets". Then she probably builds her own bookshelves. Next comes building a house to keep all these books. Then a library to keep all the duplicates....where does it end?!!
My paperbacks are on their own, I'm afraid. They fall apart, or not. But I am on a mission to have all of my favorite books in nice, hardbound editions, and I would love to be able to make my own plastic sleeves for the dust covers. The store-bought ones are so expensive, and hard to find.
I don't think I could bring myself to coat those dust covers with contact paper, though it is a pain to try to keep them "mint".
