Never have done that but I think I will. I saw a room in a magazine where they had turned all books with the page side out, so you got the effect of a lot of white, but your look is classier.

I just got done purging alot of books and re-arranging them among all the other bookcases in our house. I wish I had seen this first, because now I'm thinking about covering them like this . . How much is vellum a roll ? lol.
