Dear Charlene,
I had an aide do this because she thought it would be faster. It was but the covers
did not last. The time spent on covering book jackets is worth it. If the plastic
jacket cover gets ripped up you can put a new cover on it, but if the laminated
book jacket gets ripped it is a goner. The laminated book jackets did not hold up
to library use (abuse?) like the traditional covers. Guess that's why they still
have a good market.
