I don't know what this looks like to you, but it's a new book that's coming apart at the spine.
One of my jobs at the library is to repair books, and in the past few months I'm seeing new books - some brand new - just falling apart, way before their time. It isn't rough treatment by the patrons; they are poorly made.
This is really sad! Is it cost cutting or are they experimenting with new ways of binding?
ReplyDeleteClare, I think it's just cheap materials. Like everything else. :(
