What panics me on books are the staines and major rips in books ESPECIALLY Manga I can be a perfectionist to a point. Fold a tiny part of the page isn't a problem for me but half of the page freaks me out and to have those permanent crease make me want to cry.

for reading books the crease down the spine is alright as long as that part isn't falling apart and pages start to fall out of it. just for me no major stains and no major rips or tears in it. Minor rips are easy as invisible tape and a tiny dot of water fr example isn't a problem just blot the dry towel on the spot and its done but blood, paint, marker, I freak out then I would try to save it by using white out.
