Are you a spine breaker? Or a dog-earer? Do you expect to keep your books in pristine condition even after you have read them? Does watching other readers bend the cover all the way round make you flinch or squeal in pain?
I try not to break the spine.
I do sometimes dog-ear the pages, but try to always use a bookmark even if it's the receipt for the book iteself. Books are to be read, and can never be in pristine condition, but good condition is nice if you ever want to pass them on.
I had to see people bend the covers all the way around.
I agree that "good condition is nice if you ever want to pass them on."
