protective book covers

in I wanna buy it or do it
Not sure if this is the right place - please move it if it's the wrong place.

I'm wanting to buy one of the plastic covers you get to protect books - not sticky back plastic. I'm wanting a cover like you get on library books.

It's quite a thick book.

does anyone know where I might buy just one from?

TIA

    Thanks - do they sell them singly? I don't need a whole pack, just one or two.

    They did sell some of these in The Works but they could have been for exercise books no thick books. They were about £1.50 for 5, might be worth a look!

    I worked in a library for years and every so often we sold off books which rarely went out. They were almost always sold with the cover intact - maybe easier (and cheaper) than trying to buy the cover on it's own
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!
