[Quiet Man Cometh]

Ah. Gotcha. Yeah, I admit that I'm not as carefull with my larger, floppy books as I am with pockets. The heavy pages are sturdier and the spines are flexible enough that way. I've read my copy of Watchman (full set) three times and spilt and entire cup of tea (with milk!) on it and it's still in peachy condition. There's something to be said for glossy pages.

Naturally, the books that are precious to me *never* leave my possession. I don't want them kicked up but also, knowing my picky habits, I don't want to be in a position where I might get irritated at a friend, so I'm carefull about what books I lend out.
