I fear I may have injured a few volumes over the years by opening them carelessly. And worse - the other day, as I was trying to remove a book from a shelf, I accidentally ripped its spine. It was Ellmann's Wilde, the copy I bought my father 20 years ago (I took it back when they were getting divorced to spare it the indignity of a custody battle). But really, I am a brute.
