Using Your Adjustable Cover

Our adjustable covers are designed to fit snugly and beautifully. The order of installation matters — follow each step carefully for the best fit.

Step 1: Insert Back Cover First

Slide the back cover of your book through the cover loop.

Push it all the way in until the book rests securely against the loop.

(Always start with the back cover.)

Step 2: Insert Front Cover

Slide the front cover of your book into the left flap.

Push it in firmly so it sits tight and aligned.

Step 3: Secure and Adjust

Tuck the adjustable back cover neatly under the cover loop.

Pull the excess snug so the cover fits smoothly and securely.

Step 4: Place the Bookmark

Slip the attached bookmark into your book and adjust as desired.

Removing Your Adjustable Cover

Always remove the cover in the exact reverse order:

  1. Remove the bookmark first.
  2. Loosen and untuck the backing from the loop.
  3. Slide the front cover out of the flap.
  4. Finally, slide the back cover out of the loop.

Following this order protects the structure of your cover and keeps it fitting beautifully over time.

Using Your Fitted Cover

Your fitted cover is custom-sized specifically for your book, creating a seamless, tailored fit. Because it is made precisely to size, installation may feel snug — this is intentional.

Step 1: Insert Back Cover First

Slide the back cover of your book into the right pocket first. Push it in fully so it sits flush inside the sleeve.

Step 2: Insert Front Cover

Next is the front cover and left pocket. For the final portion, gently bend the book’s front cover backward just slightly to help it slide
fully into place. This small flex will not damage your book — it simply allows the fitted sleeve to seat properly.

Step 3: Place the Bookmarks

Use the two built-in bookmarks to mark your place. They can be positioned together or separately depending on your reading needs.

Removing Your Fitted Cover

  1. Remove the bookmarks from inside the book.
  2. Gently bend the front cover back slightly and slide it out first.
  3. Then slide the back cover out.

Remove slowly and in this order to protect both your book and your cover.

Following this order protects the structure of your cover and keeps it fitting beautifully over time.

Caring For Your Cover

Your cover is crafted from natural materials designed to age beautifully over time. With thoughtful care and proper storage, it will continue to protect your stories and grow richer in character with every season of use.

Wood Care

To care for the wood, apply a light coat of food-safe cutting board oil as needed. Avoid getting oil on the leather, as it may darken or soften the surface.

Because our covers are made from real, solid wood, they naturally respond to their environment. While each piece is sealed for protection, wood can still react to extreme temperature or humidity changes.

Storing Cover

When storing your cover without a book inside, slide the cardboard insert (which came with your cover) back into place to help maintain its shape and structure. Store your cover in the included suede bag.

Avoid leaving your cover in environments with rapid temperature changes (for example, in a car during the day and then overnight). Extreme heat, cold, or humidity shifts can affect natural materials.

If the wood ever shows slight movement or cupping due to environmental changes, this is normal for real wood and is often temporary. Allow the cover to rest flat with even weight in a stable, climate-controlled environment, and it will typically settle back into shape.

Caring for Vegan Leather

Our vegan leather is durable and low-maintenance.

• No leather balm is needed.
• Do not saturate with water. Excess moisture can cause warping.
• If needed, wipe clean with a dry, soft cloth.

If your cover becomes slightly damp, allow it to air dry naturally. Do not use heat to speed up the process.

With regular use, vegan leather will maintain its structure and finish beautifully.

Caring for Genuine Leather

Our genuine leather is designed to age gracefully. With time and use, it will naturally soften and develop a rich patina unique to you.

Keep leather dry whenever possible. If it becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat.

To condition: Use the included Smith’s Leather Balm, selected for its effective, all-natural conditioning and protection.

Massage a small amount of balm evenly into the surface of the leather using a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb fully and dry before use.

Condition occasionally as needed — not excessively.
