My hatred of bookwarp has almost grown into physical revulsion. I can’t stand the feeling, I can’t stand the way it looks, I can’t stand having books fall victim to spine disease as soon as I get them. My friend, when I mentioned this annoyance of mine, thought it must be a projection of some other (more serious) stress, so fierce was it and, you might say (but I wouldn’t), so disproportionate to its cause. I said, No, it’s really just this, whatever that says about me. I hate when this happens, always to my best books! I can only pray that a cure will soon be discovered.
