If you're reading this book, just hold it gently as the cover and edges are a bit worn. You can use a bookmark to keep your place instead of folding the pages, especially since there are markings from the previous owner. To maintain it, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further fading of the spine and label. If you spill something on it, quickly blot the area with a dry cloth. Enjoy exploring the story in this unique first - edition book!
