The creation
of the Book Jacket Cover occured
in 1939 by Arthur Brody, Founder
of Brodart. Arthur Brody studied
architectural photography at Columbia
University and one day, after washing
the emulsion off some film, he folded
it around some books for added
protection. When the covers' popularity
grew among fellow students, the plastic
book jacket cover was born. Today,
Brodart book jacket covers are used to
protect original paper jackets of library
books, giving them a longer shelf life
and increasing circulation.
BOOK COVER TESTIIMONIIALLS
"The clear covers are perfect to protect
the dust covers of my expensive Railroad

were available a long time ago. A
wonderful product."

for my personal library of books."
