- One thing I do to keep my "heavily-used" books from falling apart is
- cover them in clear-contact paper (it's the ex-Catholic schoolgirl in
- me! ;-). You can get it, in rolls, at most stores. If you're really
- afraid, you can strengthen the covers with stiff cardboard
- (contact-paper'ing it in, of course :-) which gives it an
- almost-hardback feel.
-
- All three of my camels (yeah, *three* -- two of edition 1 and one of
- edition 3) are covered. I don't feel so badly tossing them to my fiance
- accross EFF's tech area this way.....
