For me the answer is yes. Much prefer a book that is in good condition.Ant wrote:Is a books condition important? Can you buy and enjoy a well worn and beat up book?

I love too when in secondhand or library books you come across some of the unusual things people use as bookmarks, till receipts, dried out flower petals, newspaper clippings and even letters and cards. All I consider as the marks of the life the book has lived.

When me and my brother fight, he threatens to ruin it. He knows how much I love it... I think I die inside every time he says that... I have even had dreams of him lighting it on fire.Fran wrote:Yea ... mess with that book and you might hear wings beating at 3amJacob wrote:I like my books to look old and wrinkly, especially my horror books.
