            I had brown paper bags on most of mine. They made to big of a deal of the condition of the books at the end of the year...

                Throughout my entire school career, cannot recall seeing a book cover. If we wanted to tape a cover to our books, we had to buy the books first.

                  Brown paper bags that we could decorate however we wanted. Man, I did a sweet Dukes of Hazzard one on my Science book back in 4th grade. The General Lee was jumping over like a dozen cars.

                      Paper bags covers that I decorated, and school issued covers turned inside out that I also decorated.
                      "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
                      'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                      Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                      If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                            The custodians at my school were terrible at replacing the toilet paper in the bathrooms, so I covered my books in several layers of t.p.. came in real handy more than once!
