This is a great book to read and learn about Russia's history. To use it, simply open it up and start reading. You can read it at home on your couch, or take it with you on trips. When handling the book, try to keep your hands clean to avoid soiling the pages. Don't bend the pages or the spine too much to keep it in good condition. Store it on a shelf in a dry place away from direct sunlight. If it gets a little dusty, you can gently wipe it with a soft cloth.
