Contact Paper?

[frogalicious.livejournal.com]

I need contact paper.

I don't know what else to call it, since that's what I've always called it, and I need some! I plan on putting it over some books and journals that I want to preserve - while still being able to see the covers of the products. It's like a see-through, clear sheet of sticky paper that I can just apply right to a surface and it will stick and stay forever.

Do you know where I can get some of this?
Or what it might be called these days?
And the best place to go to get some?

Gah. Thanks.
Sorry for sounding like such a buffoon.
