Anarchy asked me why I carry my book around in a book bag. I told him it's to protect the book, especially the spine, from creasing. But why is that, since I've no qualms about acquiring second-hand books, most of which already are creased? I gave him this analogy: it's like loving kids, whether they're handicapped or not. Kids can come into my care with broken limbs and I'll still love them. But I won't be the one to break them.
