This is a special old - style book. When you read it, just handle it gently as the pages are a bit old and the ink might be wearing in some places. Don't bend the pages too much to avoid damage. To keep it in the best condition, store it in a dry and cool place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long as this can make the yellowing of the pages worse. Also, be careful with the dust jacket as it's in poor condition; try not to tear it further. Enjoy this unique piece of literary history!
