[ISLMA-Share] paperback book covers

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I use the Demco Vista-foil.  It's like clear contact paper, comes on a roll
so you can cut whatever size you want. I prefer to buy the glossy finish
Vista-foil because it hides the little air bubbles better than the matte
finish.  If the kids see air bubbles, they try to poke them with pens and
pencils and eventually rip holes in the cover... and then I have to give
the kids that "WTF look."  The glossy finish smooths out better with fewer
air bubbles and camouflages the ones you cant get out.  Matte finish shows
every imperfection left behind during the covering process.
