A problem with modern books is that they are often garish and ugly, designed to capture your attention at the competitive book store but not to fit into your private home. The solution to this is the Japanese custom one-sheet-fits-all book covers... #ブックカバー 
When you buy a book in Japan, the store staff will fold and cover your book in their own custom made paper, designed to be understated and easy on the eye. Not only does it protect your book but you can read in public and on trains without people know what you are reading.
Each store has their own subtly different design of cover paper, some designers and illustrators make their own and sell them in blocks. There's even collectors and antique ones in good condition sell for quite a bit of money.
