Why book jackets?
Book jackets can make interesting background subjects especially when the book is very personal to the creator, or it fits with the subject of that page of the scrapbook. Most books – hardback versions – come with detachable dust jackets, and these are often faced with an image, the title, and on the back sometimes a picture and a description of the author. Book jackets can be very interesting and graphically appealing items in their own right, hence their popularity as adornment on scrapbook pages. Using an actual book jacket is a method preferred by many, as it gives the full impact of the actual book, and reproduces the original shades and design.
