HobonichiCover on Cover “Eric” by Shaun Tan for A5 Size
This is the decorated version of the Cover on Cover, an optional, extra covering that fits select Hobonichi Techo covers to protect them from wear and tear while instantly giving solid-color covers a fresh new look. (Not for use directly on book.)
The artwork is by Australian illustrator, comic book artist and picture book author Shaun Tan. We've dotted various scenes of Eric, one of his most popular works. Eric is a character unswayed by anything around him who searches for things that he likes and places that are comfortable. You'll occasionally find areas that are foil-stamped, and its sparkle adds to this Cover on Cover's charm.
In order to preserve the design of this illustrated Cover on Cover, there is no opening located in the back to access the back pocket of the cover.
*The techo covers shown in the images are from the 2021 lineup.
These colorways are not available for sale in the 2022 lineup.

- Not recommended for leather or faux leather covers
The Cover on Cover has been specially measured for use on the Colors and Faux Fabric lines of thin covers. Other covers may not fit properly into the Cover on Cover. The PVC vinyl of the Cover on Cover contains plasticizer additives which may affect the color and quality of a leather or faux leather cover and cause a reaction in the dye. Please see a list of compatible covers below:
-Colors

-Kodue Hibino: kadan (White)
-Makoto Wada: Time-Traveling Bird
-Aki Kondo: Field of Flowers
-Antique Handkerchief: Primavera (Yellow)
-Hiroshi Hatano: Lake View- Avoid cold temperatures
The PVC vinyl of the Cover on Cover may lose elasticity and become difficult to put on when left in cold temperatures. If this happens, we recommend letting the product sit in a warm area before applying to your cover. Please be careful when handling your Cover on Cover in cold temperatures, as it becomes more susceptible to damages if dropped or handled roughly.
- No opening for cover back pocket
In order to preserve the attractiveness of the patterns, the Cover on Cover does not contain an opening for the back pocket of the planner cover. Please note you will not be able to access this pocket when this Cover on Cover is on.
