Looking for a book cover suitable for RPGs
The attached link is roughly the kind of thing I am looking for, namely a study book cover that will fit your typical Player’s Handbook-sized volume. It doesn’t necessarily have to be leather — because puppies and all — but I wouldn’t necessarily turn it down if so. I’ve seen “book sox” in larger sizes, but I want more than just a layer of fabric.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Moleskin/suede/etc by the yard and fold it yourself?

Jenn Martin It’d be awesomeer if it were a made thing with spiffy craftsmanship.

Do you mean like embossing/foil/stitching?

Stitching, I guess. I want more than just some folded fabric. I want something designed to fit snugly on a book, that won’t slip off, maybe a reinforced spine, etc.
I don’t that I have either the skill or the free time to make something like this myself.

Well that method of folding (plus a bit of double stick tape for the end bits) results in the toughest cover I know of.

Jenn Martin Noted! Maybe I’ll give it a shot.

I did it with grocery store paper bags all through school, only changed them when I drew all over and wanted a new design. I like that it’s not permanent, you don’t have to glue anything to the book. Now I want to try it out with fabric!

Jenn Martin I remember doing it with brown bags when I was a kid, too. I’d like something I can quickly swap off one book and onto another, though.
