Obtain a heavy duty plastic sheet protector or an 8-10 mil sheet of clear plastic.
Trim two edges of the sheet protector so that it opens up into a single layer.
Lay your book on the plastic and trace its covers and spine. It should make a large rectangle.
Measure the top, bottom, and both side edges of the book.
Add two inches to the top and bottom measurement, and three to each side.
Crease the top and bottom one inch wide flaps toward the center of the book. Press firmly to create a sharp crease.
Fold and crease the 3 inch sections on each side of the book cover in toward the spine. Press firmly to create a sharp crease.
Slide your book cover(s) into the pockets formed by the creases.
Close the book to check for fit.
Tape the inside and outside layers of plastic together along the book's top and bottom edges, taking care not to stick tape to the book.
Repeat the process for the other cover with the other end of the plastic.
Read your newly protected book!
