[Shenandoah]

Some of my books I've read so many times, I've read the covers off... literally. I've had to tape the covers back on and re-fabricate corners with packing tape to keep them safe. Other books just look like they've been a little worn. They are all valuable to me and I try to protect them as much as possible. Selling a book is almost painful... What you said about your dad, Quiet, made me cringe. That's downright abuse of a book. Just because they're second hand doesn't mean they should be ripped apart. What if you want to read them again?!
