As far as I'm concerned, I cover every single book I start reading with a plastic jacket so they won't get damaged while I'm enjoying it on my daily commuting. When I finish it, I remove the plastic jacket and shelve the book -sometimes there may be moisture which may damage the cover material or even pages, as it happened once with a precious Japanese dictionary I used to have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-27627506558600755982014-05-28T13:25:31.628+08:002014-05-28T13:25:31.628+08:00Really all the books don't need to be covered ...Really all the books don't need to be covered by plastic.

I am very much enjoying this book. The writing is just like poetry or music, I just love the way it fits together.<br /><br />I was interested in this post for plastic on covers. I have not ever covered my paper back books with plastic. I don't live in an area that the moisture would affect them, yet this thought sounds very good. I carry by books in my purse and it would definitly help protect them better from the abuse I try to keep to a minimum.Melissa (My World...in words and pages)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09621830513280969319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-15958016424910651012009-08-31T03:15:16.190+08:002009-08-31T03:15:16.190+08:00@mental wayfarer: Hi Ajie!
