These crystal clear plastic covers, as used by libraries, will help keep your textbooks and other softcover books flat and clean, maintaining their appearance and extending their useful lives.

Ordering the correct size

Measure the height of your book precisely in millimetres. If it is an even number, add 2mm. If it is an odd number, add 3mm. That is the size of cover you should order.

Some large softcover books have folded covers and hence are double thickness. In that case, add an additional 2mm.

If your book is wider or thicker than usual, you can send a message, via the “Contact seller” link, with its dimensions (height, width, thickness) to check if we have a cover to fit it.

Ebay may be showing the message “Limited quantity remaining”, but that’s wrong. We have plenty of stock.

Fitting

Slide the back cover under the retaining bands first. This is counter-intuitive but makes the job much easier than doing the front cover first.

These are generously sized covers, so if your book is slim or narrow the cover may seem too big, but, with sharp scissors, you can cut off excess plastic, remove one of the retaining bands (if necessary), and reshape the tuck-in flap for a perfect result.

Satisfaction in size and fitting guaranteed; any problems, get in touch via the “Contact seller” link.

Postage and Packaging

Postage is a flat-rate £2 for any quantity of covers, so you can get covers for all your often-used and expensive books. This will preserve their condition and value, with the added benefit that you can get more for them if you ever decide to sell them.

Add all the items you require to the basket and on checkout you will get a £2 total postage charge.

Orders are usually dispatched the same day or the following day.

Your covers will come in a stiff protective package. Covers of height 220mm or greater will come in a package that is 23.5cm wide. This will fit most letter boxes, but if yours is smaller than that you can take steps to avoid a redelivery note from the postman.
