He doesn’t any more. And it’s entertaining to watch why.

Me, I'd have lumps and bumps everywhere. Reminds me of this one time in college when my friend and I covered a pumpkin in duct tape. That darn thing lasted until Winter Break! (Of course, when we picked it up, it was very clear that the only thing holding the VERY squishy insides - and the stench! - inside was the duct tape.) It was such a pretty silver pumpkin. @ Shadow – hooray for guinness men!

I'll offer my fix, if you don't mind :) I went geek extreme, I have mummified all of my book covers with clear 2 ply packing tape. It takes about 15 minutes per book, but it is pretty permanent. It also has the added bonus of protecting the corners from fraying out (as cardboard is known to do). The only drawback is that it is VERY permanent. Fortunately, even if the tape begins to separate, you just trim it with an x-acto knife, and put on another layer! My original 2nd edition books have survived almost 17 years now, and still look pristine. <i>Donny_the_DMs last blog post..<a href="http://thefineartofthetpk.blogspot.com/2008/08/tales-from-behind-woodshedpart-i.html" rel="nofollow">Tales from behind the woodshed...part I</a></i> Good article!
