Yes! It was fun to draw/colour designs on the paper covers.

Yes! It was fun to draw/colour designs on the paper covers.

Remember the clingy shiny covers you could buy? The brown paper worked way better.

We all had our own way of doing this. Sometimes, I even used oil cloth.

One of the best parts of school starting, designing your covers

My grandpa was a painter and wallpaper hanger. Every year, he'd give us kids his old sample wallpaper books when he got new ones.

We'd find all sorts of use for them, including making "designer" book covers.

When my daughter was young, I'd sew cloth covers for her and her friends' books.
