If you've got this book, here's how to handle it. First, when you want to read it, make sure your hands are clean to avoid adding more stains to the already slightly discolored pages. Gently open the book, being extra careful around pages 61 - 64 and the unbound illustration page as they're loose. When you're done reading, close it properly to keep the sturdy bindings in good condition. Store it in a dry and cool place to prevent further yellowing and damage. Don't stack heavy items on top of it as the cover has some minor wear. Also, since it's an ex - library book, you can enjoy the unique history it brings with the bookplates and previous owner's script.
