          Application No. 08/907,398                                                  


          leafboard comprises three outside edges 13a, 13b and 13c, and               
          an internal edge 22b.  The book cover 10 has an inside fabric               
          surface 14 and outside fabric surface 12.  In Moor's preferred              
          embodiment, the inside and outside fabric surfaces are woven                
          nylon or another synthetic                                                  
          material.  The front leafboard includes a first stiffening                  
          member (not shown) which is about the same size as the front                
          leafboard 11 and is retained immediately inside the three                   
          outside edges of the front leafboard 11a, 11b and 11c, and the              
          internal edge 22a.  The back leafboard 13 includes a second                 
          stiffening member 24 (Figure 6) which corresponds in size                   
          substantially to the back leafboard 13 and is retained                      
          immediately inside the three outside edges of the back                      
          leafboard 13a, 13b, and 13c, and the internal edge 22b.  In                 
          Moor's preferred embodiment, the stiffening member comprises                
          either cardboard, pressed paper, or the like.                               


               Moor's first and second stiffening members are retained                
          between the inside surface fabric 14 and the outside surface                
          fabric 12 by a stitched peripheral seam 20 and stitched inner               
          seams 22a and 22b.  The book cover 10 includes a fabric spine
