But surely that ruins the book? I always try and keep my books and stuff in really good condition, I'm a bit wierd like that.
I'll crack the spine if it's getting impossible to read the ends of the lines on the page, but not otherwise, and I hate hate hate writing in my books unless I'm writing my name in them .
*beats you with a big stick*
My books all look pretty much pristine, except my favourites which are battered and old looking. And if i like them that much, i'll probably buy another copy too
yea I understood that. Google was helpful.
I don't really like to do that to books, but sometimes it's unavoidable, for example when you are copying something out of a book.
I'm talking about fiction
sucks if they are paperback, however.
I would try to have my books in best condition tho.
I own a few very old books, like one of Hermann Römpp (A big guy in organic chemistry, back in the 1940s), and a few old science books from Reichs-germany and I try to keep their longevity.
an honest compliment.
Oh, of course.
My academic books are in pretty mint condition. Which is quite possibly why i got a 2.2.
