Italian term or phrase: copertina rivestita con sovraccoperta

la frase descrittiva e' "copertina rivestita in tela con sovraccoperta". Vorrei la vostra opinione su come comportarmi data la sovvraposizione dei termini "copertina" e "rivestita"- in inglese "cover" e "covered" (quest'ultimo perche' si riferisce ad un libro, quindi non va bene upholstered o coated). Non mi piace "cover covered in cloth"- E poi "con sovraccoperta"? Double -covered? With overcover?
Grazie!!

On second thought, ** CLOTH BINDING ** is probably better!!
