Children and adults alike have struggled throughout the ages with that frustrating clear or coloured contact paper, and it is one problem after the other: getting stuck, cutting it too short, not cutting enough, getting stuck again, finishing off with what looks like a piece of bubble-wrap...

But here comes a new product to save the day (and your schoolbooks)! Contact-glue - just apply it to the surfaces, leave the book to dry and voila - a covered book without the traumatic ritual of Contact Paper. Your books will thank you for it!

Stretch book covers, as described by DrCurry. [jurist, Oct 04 2004]

Book Sox http://www.booksox.com/
Probably the actual product DrC referenced. [jurist, Oct 04 2004]

what are you saying? you paint it on? I suppose you are talking about clear varnish which is baked.

I sympathise with the problem though.

Carrot sticks and celery sticks I've heard of, but onion soup sticks?

Your idea is glue?

What you actually need is a book sock - a stretch cover that fits any size book, no glue needed, but which appears to be either too new or too mundane to have made it ono the Internet yet.
