Read it....Respect it....Return it!
Please take good care of your books and return them on time
so the next person may enjoy them. See the videos below for some book care advice!
Are you seeing a theme in these videos?
Books that have been damaged by moisture or sticky stuff are nearly impossible to repair.
While some minor damages that occur (little tears, folded pages, torn plastic covers, etc) can be mended, this is one thing that is not repairable, requiring books to be replaced.
