My nephew is getting baptized one month from today and I really want to
successfully create a home sewn bible cover for him. This probably isn't

For a book cover, I like this method:

I've used that a few times for notebooks and for little guidebooks that
were about to take a beating at camp. Also made it easy for everyone to
identify the owner of the book :-)
