This clue could be a double definition.

'book covering' is the first definition.
'morocco' can be an answer for 'covering' (morocco is a kind of covering). I am not certain of the 'book' bit.

'part of north africa' is the second definition.
(I know that Morocco is part of North Africa)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for morocco that I've seen before include "Rabat its capital" , "Soft leather used for in book binding" , "Hide" , "Arab state" , "Book's covering, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
