I cover books that I like/value/use a lot in a type of clear, sturdy 
plastic wrap. I first used this kind of wrap while I was in Hong Kong.
Here in Canada, I can find them only in Chinatown -- maybe they imported
the stuff.  Other types of plastic wraps I've seen are either not as sturdy
or they're ridiculously priced.
The plastic protects paperbacks as well as dust jackets on hard covers
beautifully. (and it keeps the dust jackets ON!)
