$10–$25Why they’ll love it
Protects the corners and covers of books that travel through commutes, vacations and busy bags.
Personal enough to suit their style, while avoiding the risk of choosing a novel they already own.
How to pick a good one
Measure the largest format they regularly carry, including thick hardbacks or an e-reader in a case. Padding, a soft lining and secure closure are the essentials. An outer pocket can hold notes or headphones, but bulky decoration may make the sleeve awkward to slide into a bag.
A cotton anniversary gift for a reader
A cotton book sleeve can mark a cotton anniversary without choosing the recipient’s next book for them. Check the outer fabric and lining rather than assuming all padded sleeves are cotton. Compare its usable internal measurements with the books they carry; a thick hardback needs more room than the cover’s height and width alone suggest.
