    A very well-covered graph is a well-covered (i.e. unmixed) graph without isolated vertices such that the cardinality of its minimal vertex covers is half the number of its vertices. The main result of the paper is that if \(G\) is a Cohen-Macaulay very well-covered graph, then the Rees algebra of its cover ideal is a normal Cohen-Macaulay domain. In the last section some algebraic properties of the cover ideals of whisker graphs are studied.
