Thank you for telling me to tape my books. I just taped up my copy of Shogun that was slowing dying.

Best idea😮

Real as hell

This is great for paperback books that aren't for reference. It's less wasteful than fully covering the book in plastic and doesn't leave that bubble look.

I hate when the corners fold as well so I just folded paper corner protectors and temporarily placed them on the edges of my book.

Hello ! Can you show that book now? 🙏

This gives me PTSD.

I've seen numerous ppl say they have the problem of contact lifting off the edges of their books. I have been contacting my books for a good 35 years and never encountered this problem. I would still recommend contacting the full book over this taping method. There are several methods for contacting, all of which require a 'practice makes perfect' approach.

I think you used transparent tape where the mat finish tape is called invisible tape.

That diagonal cut is a good trick

Great video and great information

Literally searched for this video just to know I'm not the only one doing it haha. 1:51 is so me. 🤣

I tried it and I absolutely love it! My books were slowly getting damaged but when I taped them, they aren’t getting damaged anymore! I used the wider tape not the thin one (that was all I had).

While this may seem like a great idea at first, it has its downsides. Tape will not only get increasingly more difficult to remove over time, it will also yellow. I would personally recommend using mylar or polypropylene sleeves specially made for books instead. If you wish to achieve something closer to using tape and don't mind a permanent solution, clear, acid-free contact paper will cover your books in their entirety without yellowing. At the end of the day, your books are your own and you're free to do as you please.

immediately taped my book corners, def gonna help me tysm! btw dont come after me i dont have a good history with my book covers... and spines o(￣┰￣*)ゞ

I have been doing this since my childhood from class 5. I'm glad that an unknown girl taught me this in the school library who became sister to me later.

Thank you.

I am the kind of person who wants to protect my books at any cost and I had been doing this method for a long time. Its really nice (even though it have some small negatives 😇, but I just close my eyes towards them) . At first when I do this technique everyone teases me a lot. I even doubted myself whether am I little bit overprotective. But now I am actually happy to see that a lot of book lovers here also want to do something like this to protect their books🤩

Curious the attachment to things that aren't made well enough.. because you have to make it safe for yourself and the world first before reading.. Wow. People are so... safety conscious. Are you sure you don't put tape on your book for any other reason? I love you tube because it allows the millions of people out there to get to know one another, and all our special characteristics. So many times I have been doing something, and thought it was for one reason then found out it was for another. The last thing I did? Art and craft stuff.

thank you soo much❤ we are almost back in school and my whole life literally my mother would cover all of my notebooks and textbooks but now I cover all my textbooks I also wanna cover my notebooks but my mother told me to just tape the edges the problem was I don't know how to do it and if I ask her the tutorial she would think I'm an idiot so I'm suppperrrrrr grateful to you tysm❤

I wish I would've found this video sooner! I tape just the corners of my books because those seemed to get the most damage, but I always seem to get a lip of tape from it not folding over the edge properly. If I had found this video sooner I could've made my books look a lot better. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

1:37 That's how I feel if I don't put a plastic cover on my books. It feels like I'm soiling the "naked" book just by touching it with my bare hands. So the first thing I do when I buy a book is put a thick plastic cover on it, so that it not only protects the the corners and edges, but also the print of the cover. I don't mind not being able to touch the cover, since constantly touching it will ruin it.

I watch this video every year.

I love the way you look🥰

Thank you. I usually use tape and was just thinking of trying plastic cover but after hearing you here I think ama stick to my tape

I'm almost threatened to tape my book according to the ending part of the video, so I'll have to.

Once a friend borrowed a manga from me and when she returned, it was literally in a horrible condition, the paperback's cover was almost torn and it was just... eww. I thought about buying a new one and throw that one but ykw that was quite expensive and i always buy mangas by saving my pocket money.. thanks for the video now i don't need to discard it anymore 💗

👍👍👍

I used to do this in the 80s and 90s but I've regretted it. The stickiness of the tape eventually wears off and the tape begins to come off. As others have mentioned, the tape already adds thickness to the edges of the book which may cause problems when displaying them on the shelf. I use either self-adhesive plastic or those special adjustable plastic covers especially for paperbacks to protect my books.

I used tar tan tape is that okay?

This clumsy guy could do it! thanks to you, beautiful hands 👌🏼

I had these problems and didn't know what to do but ever since I saw this, you saved my books from breakage

great idea... I am going to do this

Your tape cutting trick is actually amazing... I would have overlapped the tape and then cut the whole corner if didn't watch it😅🤣 Thank you so much!😄

Video starts at 2:24

Lovely idea sister...saved my books...much love ❤️❤️❤️

You're very funny. Very entertaining. Thanks.

this is the most effective, 'extremely simple' tip i ever heard and gonna stay with me forever. gave life to the books. you are a genius to comeup with that idea.

sorry...I'd still use plastic cover...if your book cover is white, you'll see the discoloration of the book in months or years...plastic cover will preserve the white color of the book...I have a music book in white cover and I taped the edges like what you did...overtime, the book is discolored...my classmate meanwhile put plastic cover on her book and it is still white

I recommend to use adhesive book cover instead 🥰

Thank you so much!!! I was so worried about the edges of my books!! I am definitely going to try it!!❤

I prefer mylar covers but still tape is not a bad idea at all! I love nothing more than a hardback book wrapped in clear mylar plastic. So satisfying

👏👏👏🙌

The frustration of not being able to turn pages- to not read a book at all will make you hate books.

Same feeling here

There's something about videos made by Filipinos that always makes me know immediately that the video was made by filipinos
