If you own this rare first - edition book, you'll want to handle it with care. When reading, place it on a clean surface to avoid further soiling. Try not to bend the pages too much to prevent additional creases. To maintain its condition, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as sunlight can cause more fading. When you're not using it, you can keep it in a book sleeve or a protective case to protect it from dust and scratches. Also, be gentle when opening and closing the book to keep the binding tight.
