i agree. i can't bring myself to throw away a book, no matter how thoroughly uninteresting, or old and ratty and dusty it is. once i returned a very old paperback to my library. it had seen better days ; the cover was creased and the dges were worn, and the paper was quite yellow. i hasten to assure you that it was already in that condition when i got it. the librarian took it rather gingerly between two fingers and said something like 'no point in putting this on the shelves, i think it's headed directly to the trash." i almost jumped out of my skin ; i think i would not have been more shocked if he had said he planned to go kill a kitten just for fun.
