The invention is directed toward a protective sleeve for a comic book comprising a substantially rectangular pocket comprising a front cover panel and a back cover panel, a substantially rectangular flap portion extending from the back cover panel comprising a first crease, an inner panel portion, a second crease, and an outer panel portion. The outer front panel portion has an adhesion area. The pocket has an adhesive strip disposed on the back cover panel. The front cover panel has an opening through which the cover of a comic book can be disposed. The front cover panel is folded over from the back cover panel. The flap portion may be wrapped around the pocket such that the inner front panel portion covers the front cover panel, the outer front panel portion covers the back cover panel, and the back cover panel is secured to the adhesive strip.

Various entertainment systems, that include a blanket, along with a flexible book that is removably attachable to the blanket, are described. Such flexible books may include a flexible cover and disposed within the flexible cover may be at least one flexible page. The flexible book may be constructed from a fabric. In some embodiments, the blanket may comprise at least one pocket for removable storage of the flexible book. In some embodiments, the blanket may be folded in half, creating a folder, wherein this folder may be used to removably store the flexible book. And irrespective of such flexible book storage with the blanket, the flexible book may be removably attached to the blanket using mechanical fasteners. Additionally, methods of use and methods of manufacturing for such blankets and flexible books are described, disclosed, and taught.

A decorative book cover with only one folded front flap and an evenly spaced grid printed on the inside surface that can be used to cover books of all sizes and binding types and give them a uniform, color-coordinated, decorative effect for styled shelves and displays. The front panel of a books cover can be inserted in the front flap of the cover so that the cover can be pulled tight around the book and wrapped just like a normal cover and the back flap then folded like a classic paper dust jacket and then easily removed and fitted to another book of a different size; the printed grid allows for easily trimming the cover down for odd sized books.

The present invention relates to a flexible and durable bookbinding and to methods for making bound books. More specifically, the present invention relates to books that may withstand substantial and repeated perpendicular flexure along their spine. Among other advantages, these books demonstrate improved resistance to wear and tear and normal usage to remain intact.

The invention relates to a protective cover (10) with a base, two side walls (20), a front wall, a rear wall and a lid, wherein the protective cover (10) comprises a blank (12) which is formed integrally and is composed of a plastics material. The blank (12) has a base region (24), a rear wall region (18), a front wall region (16), two side wall regions (20) and a lid region (22), and the blank (12) is folded in a cuboidal shape. Furthermore, it is provided that the protective cover (10) has connecting elements (14) with magnetic elements and optionally counter elements, wherein the connecting elements (14) are designed and arranged in such a manner that the edges of the blank (12) that butt against one another in the folded cuboidal shape are held together by the connecting elements (14) which exert magnetic attraction forces on one another. Furthermore, the invention relates to a folding sheet (11) which can be folded to form such a protective cover (10).

Embodiments for a rigid protective cover and closure are provided. The rigid protective cover and closure includes an edge frame with a pull bar, spine insert, connector arms with connector ends, wherein the connector ends define an extend aperture, wherein the connector ends each include a pivot tab, a slide peg, a spring housing, and a spring band. Generally speaking, these components are structured such that pivot tabs of the connector ends are fastened to the spine insert.

A comic book case includes a base and a cover configured to compress and secure a comic book in place under frictional pressure such that the book cannot easily shift or slip within the case. Prior art cases that included walls surrounding the top, bottom and side edges of a book typically allowed some free movement or slippage of the book between the walls. This movement or slippage could result in damage such as curling or crinkling of the edges of the book if the case were exposed to a physical shock, such as by being dropped. The base includes a raised base platform and the cover includes a depressed cover platform, which extends towards the base platform to create a space within which the book is securely held.
