You still have a copy and no other copies are affected or likely to be.
Burning the paper one copy of the book was originally printed on is no worse than burning junk mail or a personal document unless you intend to burn all copies of someone else's book.

Burning junk is probably fine, but burning a copy of the grapes of wrath, for any reason is not, agreed?
I suppose if the book is very musty you can toss it in the bin, but there's always the goodwill.
