Excellent quality for vintage paperbacks, easy to fold over and tape adheres well to. Buy now if in stock as they go quickly. Getting harder to find

These were slightly too small for my Jim Butcher - Dresden Files paperback books. About 400 and something pages. There's no adhesive on the flaps at all. You'll have to use tape to seal it. I did like the thickness of it, not too thin. You get a lot, for your money.

Larger bags are needed for most common paperbacks.

Compré estas bolsas para proteger mis libros, y son de buena calidad en material, aunque recomendaría que tuvieran pegamento ligero en la orilla. Y solo me sirvieron para libros muy muy pequeños, creo tendré que buscar o comprar de medidas más grandes. Si encuentro la medida grande serían excelentes porque la calidad es buena.

Perfect for bagging vintage paperbacks. It's impossible to say how thick of a book the bags will handle by page count (since paper thicknesses vary) but I've found that 2cm or 3/4 of an inch is about max. Even at that thickness it can be a little tricky to get a book in the sleeve while holding each with one hand. Very clear plastic. Feels durable. Packaged well.

A little bit smaller than I expected but held standard paperbacks perfectly. Was disappointed in the fact they didn't seal but tape worked for that. Otherwise strong and well made product.

(INSERT ANY MEME HERE) Okay, specifically I bought these for all my English manga books. In my mind, the brilliant math genius that I am, thought this, these sleeves are 5" and my books are 5", simple math, right? Except there's a z-axis I did not account for (gasp). The sleeves are indeed 5", when laying flat (what a troll). Logically speaking (stay with here). you have to pull the flaps open to slide in your book (giggity), that mighty, unapologetic 5" is now about a noticeably smaller 4.8". Talk about an embarrassing night! No manga's fit. It is unbelievably saddening. All the Dark horse, Viz, etc, their pretty much the same size nowadays, do not fit. I'd have an easier time making baskets are the local fair (oh, how little distance my $15 goes there). I'll have to find some other use for this, maybe for CD's (I have 8 CD's becuase its 2017) and small paperbacks (I have less than 8). Alright, 12 bags down, 88 to go. Maybe I'll use it as tiny trash bags. That'll for sure force me to decrease my carbon footprint lol. C'mon, that was pretty funny. That was AT LEAST Fuller House funny, right? All yolks aside (eeeverywhere you look, everywhere~), be wary if you're buying this for English manga. Perhaps Japanese language manga would work, but probably thinner novels only. Sub par to decent product overall. It's seems a little too thin, which may be prone to rips/tears but only time will tell. The seams rip apart with minimal effort (I'm talking like, literary and baby dozing off to sleep and they're pulling the blanket up, type of strength). Seems to be a result of cheap glue or the gluing process (I'm assuming here, since its been 6 years since I've worked at the Gluing company, as the assistant to the assistant regional manager, and I'll tell ya first, that industry waits for no one, pal). No adhesive backing, requiring you to use tape (I just don't have tape around, they're like AAAA batteries to me). It is a cheaply priced product so don't expect mylite's-quality sleeves. You get 100 for about 6 bucks, that's 6 cents a each (MATH!!) and I wouldn't mind paying 4 cents for each :)))))))) tee-he... Wichard out!~ (its pronounced Richard, stop it, you sound ridiculous)

Great! Fits my old Signet Pocket paperbacks beautifully (about 4.25 x 6.75). There is some room to spare, so they could probably fit a slightly larger book as well. Just use a little piece of clear tape to secure the flap to the back of the sleeve (no sticky will touch the actual book). They have a nice sheen to them that really makes an old book look new again--very good for protecting and showing of a collection of old or rare paperbacks.
