@gebbss: acutally you won't. Cut out the paper cover and paste it on the cardboard. In India I had this done to my schoolbooks back in the 70s and they look practically the same today.

Used to do that in the 70s and 80s in India. There were sidewalk stores that did that and all paperbacks that we needed to preserve got that treatment.

nonsense. work 9-10 hrs a day in my sweatpants and get more stuff done than in the cube
