Abstract: A pair of laminates for a dust cover for a hardback book assures that the dust cover is protected from damage while also providing a means for adhesively securing the dust cover to the book. A polyester sheet is adhesively laminated to the outer surface of the dust cover. In like manner, a double backed adhesive sheet is laminated to the undersurface or back side of the dust cover. The double backed tape then provides a means for adhesively securing the dust cover to the front and back hard cover of the book and around the side edges thereof, and in which the ends of the dust cover laminate are adhered to the undersurface of the front and back hard covers of the book.
