I always do it near the beginning and near the end, where one side of the book is really thin. I feel like I have to curve it to see the opposite page properly!TibbyK wrote:I completely know what you mean, I do the same exact thing.

No bending the cover back! It breaks the spine. I'm more of a librarian-style holder. I hold it with one hand and can easily turn it outward to show others what's on the page.Scott wrote: ↑24 Jan 2007, 09:45 Okay, this question might sound silly, but I'm serious.
How do you hold your books when you read? When I was a kid, I used to bend them back like I do to a newspaper. However that ruined the binding of the books and permanently deformed them. Nowadays, I take care of my books when reading. Usually, I even hold them with two hands.
What about you? How do you hold your book? Do you try not to damage them at all?
