the_rudeboy Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Yep, I did. Trouble was, in the 70's, most of the patterns were so big you didn't get the effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudgun Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 I once backed them with clear sticky-back plastic and got loads of bubbles in then spent the rest of term trying to get rid of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdtiman Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I remember this, the hardest part was trying to get a piece off the wall big enough to cover the book without ripping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missflirtuk Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I used to back my books too, don't know why the teachers felt the need for us to back our books though. I think it was their way of keeping us quiet for a bit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was their way of keeping us quiet for a bit . Yes, our teachers seemed to be obsessed with books being backed. What was all that about? When I first started at secondary school I bought special paper to back my books in and even cut out pictures to enhance the cover. Towards the end of my school time I just backed them with old newspaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
