I've had my hardback LOTRwith simarillion (4 books) since 1979 - I've read them several times - I must admit, the paper fly cover is missing from one of them but otherwise they are internally pristine.
My paperback copy of Pride and Prejudice (printed 1989) has been read at least a dozen times and is starting to show some wear. but the spine is still not broken.
Why destroy something you love?
