hmmm, I know how dirty my own books can get (Major culprit for eating whilst reading and dropping food on my poor books - cue oily stains and crumbs). I don't even want to think about other grotty reader-eaters to boot!

My local library had decommissioned a paperback copy of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged which I purchased for 20 Australian cents. 17 years old, a few tattered pages cleverly repaired with sticky tape, one or two minor stains, but in functional shape.
Why do people throw away or avoid books for mainly aesthetic reasons?
I don't think we mind our own torn, or dirty books. We know what those stains are! But as for others.......eeewwww......
