- ↑ Mishna Brurah 40:7 writes that sefarim require a double covering. Regarding printed sefarim, Ginzei Hakodesh 4:13 p. 63 quotes Rav Chaim Pinchas Sheinberg and Rav Nissim Karelitz as being lenient with one covering for printed sefarim. On the other hand, he quotes Rav Elyashiv and Rav Wosner as being strict.
