I love to read and between my family members we have a decent home library and to try and keep it from outgrowing the space I have for it I read some books by authors I don't know yet on an e reader tablet. I like that these sleeves work good for both types of books I read. I also feel good about carrying a borrowed book in one of my sleeves so that I can return it in the same condition in which I borrowed it. That is why I made this pattern with four sizes and four styles, to match whichever style you feel the safest sleeve to carry your book/device. I hope you enjoy making your book sleeves and using them. Don't forget to make some for your special friends and family! Thank you for looking at my listing.
