Since my car was wrecked in Jan. I have been riding the bus. The bus has some advantages, it goes right by my work I have an extra 400 dollars a month and 45 minutes of ride time to read. I looooove sci fi and alternative history but I don't like the way paperbacks get in my bag and I don't like people being able to see my reading choices and I am always losing my bookmark. So I made covers, the planet one for me and the linen type for a fellow passenger with a really ratty book cover, it was so bad it was haunting me in my sleep ! They have built in ribbon bookmarks and fit most books because of the flap closure.

Oooh! Fantastic idea!
I agree with you; I don't like when people see what I can read. They don't need to know what a nerd I am :P

Is this sized for Mass Market Paperbacks or Trade Paperbacks?
I find a lot of Science Fiction (as well as other genres) have been increasingly published in Trade Paperback size. It's pretty much the new book publishing trend.
