Answer 2

fabric book cover = Encuadernación "de/en/con" tela

You can also say: Encuadernación en (terciopelo, lino, algodón, mantel, seda, etc ... type of fabric)

Another word much used is: Forrar (Forrar un libro "en/con" tela)

-Tengo un libro encuadernado en tela/Tengo un libro forrado con tela

Claro, pero esa es la cubierta original, y el quiere la cubierta que uno le pone para que no se eche a perder la tapa original. - chileno, Apr 13, 2014
