This is a collectible book, so it's mainly for reading and display. When reading, handle it gently to avoid further wear on the covers and spine. Keep it in a dry and cool place to prevent the pages from darkening more quickly. If you want to display it, use a bookend to keep it upright. Don't expose it to direct sunlight for long periods as it can fade the covers and damage the pages. When turning pages, do it slowly to avoid tearing. This book is a piece of history, so take good care of it!
