Abstract: A book covering includes a stretchable material configured to completely extend over an outer face and side edges of each cover of a book and a plurality of reinforcing elements disposed at localized areas of the stretchable material. Each reinforcing element includes a segment, spaced from the other reinforcing elements of the plurality of reinforcing elements, that is adapted to be disposed adjacent a corner of a cover of a book when the stretchable material is extended over the outer face and side edges of each cover of a book, thereby protecting a corner of the book cover. The reinforcing elements include a resilient, pliable material.
