WHAT TO DO WITH VIRGIN BOOKS

Henry Bergos writes: "Regarding the discussion about
opening up an unsplit book:. I attended the CW Post
campus of Long Island University in 1974/5. I was doing
some research on English law and requested a book that
turned out to be an original from 1763. It was unsplit!!!
I asked what to do about it and the library assistant told
me to do as I liked, so I split some of the pages. It kinda
hurt to do it. What good is a book that has never been
read? We as book lovers like to have pristine copies,
but unread??? I have two copies of a book one of my
Professors wrote: one in the shrink wrap and one that I
read."
