Day 1 #CrimesAgainstCovers: #MostWreckedBook. I do have other books in rough shape--stained, dog-eared, cracked spines, broken bindings, etc.--but none that are beaten up in the much-loved "read-till-it-fell-apart" way as these childhood favourites.

Erinsuereads Most of my childhood books look like this too actually! I don‘t even take them off the shelf! 6y

I‘ve got a few other ones in rough shape, but these are probably the worst. The Harry Potter books are from my childhood. On top of the wear and tear on the spine, our family dog pulled the first four off the shelf and tried to eat them, hence the teethmarks. The other three books are from my mother‘s childhood, and they‘re so fragile, I‘m afraid if I just breathe on them wrong, they‘ll fall apart completely. #crimesagainstcovers #mostwreckedbook

tpixie I see one from my childhood! It was my sisters and it was torn up like yours, but I cherished it forever!!! 6y

#crimesagainstcovers #dayone #mostwreckedbook My own book collection is full of old roughed up books but alas it is all in storage in CO. I‘m currently a live in nanny in CA. So I decided to choose these children‘s books that have not survived the babies. There was even one book I had to save that was completely taped shut with washi tape by the 3year old. #lifeofananny #tearing #waterspilling #slobbering #littlemonsters

It actually makes me incredibly sad how wrecked this book is. It's quite a big book and took a lot of battering through a few house moves as a student. It's so beautiful inside. #crimesagainstcovers #mostwreckedbook
@ErinSueG

Erinsuereads Usually our most wrecked books are our most loved books 😍😍 6y
laurieluna @ErinSueG it's currently stored in a cupboard as it makes me sad to look at it, and to stop the kids making it worse. I keep wondering if I should patch it up with selotape or if that will make it look worse...😕 6y
Erinsuereads At least with some light tape the tears wouldn‘t get worse 🤷🏻‍♀️. That charlottes web on my post is completely covered and held together by tape! 6y

LeahBergen You should get a Brodart (or the like) plastic cover for the dust jacket. 6y
laurieluna @LeahBergen oh. Yes! I shall look it up, thank you! 😊 6y
LeahBergen I‘ve “beautified” some pretty bad dust jackets with them before. 😆 6y
