If you're a book lover, you'll enjoy reading this classic 'The Human Comedy'. When handling the book, be gentle as the spine is detached. To keep it in good shape, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further sunning of the spine and label. Avoid getting the book wet as the slightly stained pastedowns and free - endpapers could get damaged. Also, try not to bend the corners any more to maintain its appearance. When you're done reading, place it back on the shelf carefully to keep the binding tight.
