To use this book, simply open it up and start reading through the beautiful poems and translations. When handling the book, make sure your hands are clean to avoid adding more soiling. Store it on a dry and clean bookshelf to keep it in good shape. If you notice any new signs of soiling or damage, you can gently wipe the dust jacket with a soft, dry cloth. Don't bend the pages or put heavy objects on the book to keep the binding tight.
