MMPBs were great for books that I wanted to read and then give away and never see again, but not for books that I might want to reread or have in my library for others to borrow and read or for my children/grandchildren to inherit.
How are you treating your MMPB? I have had some covers come off the spine, but overall, not many. I've never torn any covers. I managed to keep the spines in pretty good condition. The ones that did have the cover come off, I was able to fix with some glue.
