We're all mad here.
I don't usually loan my books out often but the odd time I do I don't usualy make a point of saying to keep it in good shape. I generally expect people to do that anyway because it's someone else's book! I loaned a copy of a novel to a classmate once because he couldn't find a copy for his paper he wanted to write. It came back with a wee bit more wear on the spine and I did cringe a bit but it wasn't serious. No pages are falling out and the book is still rectangular in shape.
What really gets to me is books opened to far that one can see the glue holding the pages to the spine. I'd prefer a trashed cover over pages possibly falling out!
Tea?
