    It was not boring a bit... more an enjoyment! When the beep went off was exciting, one of the high spots of the demonstration. There is almost nothing worse than a book with cracked spine...sadness... thanks for your great lesson!

    I think it all depends on how hard is the spine. Unfortunately my book's spine was not elastic at all, so this approach didn't worked for it, spine got damaged.

    • @booksnbobs
      @booksnbobs  Год назад

      Some books have extra rigid spines especially old books as the glue on the spine has harden and became brittle. I'm sorry the spine of your books got damaged.

      My tip: break the spine, it really doesn't matter. Books are designed to be read, if you are constantly worrying about the damage done by reading the thing, then it kills the whole point. I never care if the spine will get bent or broken, I just open the book whichever diddly damn way I find to be most comfortable, and roll with that. I will break a spine if it just means being able to look a word in the eye.
      Here is a video that should help you come into terms that books are designed to be opened

      Well maybe you can open the book a quarter of the way and focus on preserving the shape orher than preserving the condition overall

  • @dude3099
    @dude3099 Год назад

    I have 1 question. Why some books open all the way to the sides, even without this technique. You can just put them flat on the bed, no need of holding it with your hands.. Like our school textbooks I remember, then theres a 1000 page book i have hitchikers guide to the galaxy. While so many paperbacks like the six of crows, we need to hold them and read?
