I wonder why you want a book to stay new forever. A book that has been loved and learned from is like an old comfy jacket, a little worn at the edges and a little faded from use but when you delve back into it and see a few folds and dog eared pages you remember how much you loved it the first time. I buy second hand books sometimes and love it when you can tell they have been read and re read, shows that it is a wonderful engaging story. Enjoy your books, dont worry about keeping them perfect.

Before picking the book up, wash your hands. Then dip them in a bucket of either Vaseline or horse semen. As you turn the pages, rub your hands lightly over the printed area. When you finish your reading session, wrap the book in a clean, dry tractor inner tube. Seal with duct tape and store in the freezer. But don't take my word for this. Try it for yourself.

Buy two copies......There are two kinds of people out there....Those with a love of reading and them with a love of collecting, quite frankly never the twain should meet!!!!!

New forever is a contradiction
