The creation of the Book Jacket
Cover occured in 1939 by Arthur Brody, Founder of Brodart
Co. 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.
"The clear covers are perfect to protect the dust covers
of my expensive Railroad Book Collection. I wish I had known
they were available a long time ago.A wonderful product."
Joe Candiliere
Railroad Book Collector
"Love the (Brodart Book Jacket)
covers for my personal library of books."
Joseph Charles, Jr.
