This book 'On the Contrary' is a great read. When you use it, just handle it gently because of its condition. Avoid bending the pages too hard as some clippings are torn. To maintain it, store it in a dry and cool place to prevent further soiling or staining. Don't place heavy objects on it to keep the binding tight. If you want to show it to others, be careful not to let them accidentally rip any more of the clippings.
