Here's what a freak I was: I would go to the stationery store and buy wrapping paper, or the art supply store and buy art paper or to the travel store and buy maps and use those materials to cover my books. Yes, I already said I was a freak ...

I loved covering my books.
It was a tradition. And then you could draw all over the covers and the paper bag was kinda fuzzy....
Ah those were the days...
How do you cover your books with brown paper bags?

School used to be fun and every day I just couldn't wait to go meet my friends and learn new stuff. I thought the faculty will be the same but it turns out the fun is dead.
I agree that bookcovers were pretty awesome and decided last winter to start a company that does an updated version of the classic paperbag bookcover for grownups. We're just getting started some come check us out at

We are the manufaturer of synthetic brown cover.........Synthetic Brown Paper for Note Book Covers
The Synthetic Brown paper developed is an excellent substitute for the laminated brown paper covers that are available in the market which are used to cover notebooks by school children.
It has many advantages against normal brown paper like:
A) It is similar to brown paper covers and aesthetic paper look and feel as it is embossed.
B) It is water proof ,
C) It is non-tearable and durable as against the paper covers that get torned after 2-3 months of use.
D) It dose not have any wrinkles or creases like paper covers.
The synthetic brown paper is available in two forms of packaging, sheets & rolls.For further enquiry pls contact on my mail id
