Man duraseal was the shit. Buying back to school gear meant buying a roll of Lisa Frank or Space Jam Duraseal and laminating your books with it. It fucking ruled. I'm surprised it's not something I see in office supply stores anymore.
I'm old.
Edit: If it's because it's bad for the environment then that makes sense and I fully support ditching it.
Man oh man. We had to wrap our books in a type of thick, glossy paper. The books were borrowed from the school, so they expected them back in flawless condition. I kid you not, we even had to take sandpaper and file the 3 "paper sides" of the books to remove any stray pencil marks.
It was run by nuns, go figure.
