Why they’ll love it

  • Protects the corners and covers of books that travel through commutes, holidays 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.

Cotton for a reader’s anniversary gift

For a cotton anniversary, a cotton sleeve can be a small present for someone who carries a book in a bag. Read the fabric details, including the lining, and measure a typical book before choosing. Padding takes up space inside the pouch, and a cotton cover is not automatically waterproof.
