Hard-covered books break up friendships. You loan a hard covered book to a friend and when he doesn't return it you get mad at him. It makes you mean and petty. But twenty-five cent books are different. -- John Steinbeck –
I do too love my books so much that I have a hard time lending them to friends. Although they are aware of my obsession and never ask for the books. ahah
No kidding Anonymous! I get downright Shylockian on anyone who wants to purloin my stuff. Book weighs two pounds? That's the average elbow to forefinger!
Me too, [bunch of squiggly things] p [followed by more squiggly things]. True love means never having to say "Hand me back my books or else!"

I place the same value on any book, be it a hardcover or the less expensive version. A book is a book is a book.
