Q:

Alternative ways of saying "from start to finish" of a book

I am trying to express something along the lines of:

[...] where the visitor can read entire books from start to finish.

In Norwegian we say "fra perm til perm", which roughly would translate to something like "from hardback to hardback" indicating that the first hardback is the beginning of the book, and the second hardback if the last page.
Is there any way to express something like this in English?

A:

In English, the corresponding expression is from cover to cover:

read all the way through from the beginning to the end
