I have one of those leatherette covers too, and people frequently assume
I'm reading the Bible. Once in the doctor's waiting room a guy said to
me "Yeah, I should probably read the Good Book more." I told him I
probably should too. I was reading a Gold Medal PB, Jewel of the Java
Sea.

I have one of those "leatherette" covers that I bought at a bookstore
in Golden Colorado years ago that fits over the paperback - makes it
look somewhat like an inexpensive bible. I used to frequent one
restaurant often and would take in my book to read. After a year, the
usual waitress told me one day, "Either you are a slow reader or that
must be one helluva book. You have been reading it for months."
I told her it was pretty good.
