alice-teacher Softcover Text Books

[Jenifer Neidig]

Isn't it crazy.  I've had trouble with books too.  We are considering going
completely electronic with our books on this textbook adoption.

Hi  Lance,

 

I cover all of  my 'softcovers' with a substantially thick clear paper.
Sometimes the 'place of purchase' offers this as a service, or  you should
be able to find suitable clear 'thickish' clear binding paper at  an office
supply store. 

 

If you cut the clear paper to size with the book open, then cut the clear
paper corners to 45 degrees across the text book cover's right angled cover
corners you'll find it will fold up inside quite well.Then use clear tape to
secure the infolded clear paper, extra tape on the  book cover edges if you
choose .

 

If you have several books of the same size you could  make a brown paper
template for each book size making it quicker and  easier to cut your clear
paper cover material (good way to hone your initial skills on even for one
text book!). Your text books should last for a long time then even with
heavy student handling.

 

Happy bookbinding,

 

David Davis

I apologize for this "dumb" question.  But  I have a question for high
school teachers . . .

How do you preserve your  softbound text books after more than 2 years? I
cannot continue to ask my school to purchase new texts.

 

Do you allow the students to take the books home when you assign work?

 

Thank you,
