Claim:
A method for manufacturing a book cover from a sheet of pliant material comprising the steps of: cutting a laterally-elongated polygon from a sheet of said pliant material, cutting a slot in each laterally-elongated side in a substantially bisecting relation therewith, the slots extending at right angles to the respective elongated sides, and extending a predetermined distance into the polygon; creating laterally-extended fold lines and end fold lines orthogonal thereto to form a rectangle having rectangle corners thereof coincident with the sides of the polygon, folding inward the portions of the polygon that are located external to the rectangle to bring the edge portions of the polygon into mutually adjoining relation, wherein said portions of the polygon that are located external to the rectangle include a lateral triangular panel, a top panel having at least four sides, and a bottom panel having at least four sides, and securing said adjoining edge portions together, wherein a bottom edge of said top panel is joined to a top edge of said bottom panel, a side edge of said top panel is joined to a side edge of said lateral triangular panel, and a side edge of said bottom panel is joined to a side edge of said lateral triangular panel to thus form an access slot and two pockets, wherein each pocket comprises a lateral triangular panel, a top panel having at least four sides, and a bottom panel having at least four sides and wherein said access slot provides access through which interiors of said front cover pocket and said back cover pocket can be accessed.
