I read in an article that books should not be opened more than 130 degrees( that is it should be opened and kept in the shape of the english alphabet V ) so that its stitches remain strong and ensures that the pages of the book will not be subject to wear and tear for five years guaranteed!.To do this just create a stand made by wood or by cardboard in the shape of V and place the book in it whenever you read it.
Hope you will be benefitted by this.So start right now to protect your valuable books!

I only buy books that have been previously owned. Some of them have a perfect spine when I buy them. They look as if the book has never been read, but perhaps the previous owner was just careful or used a V shaped stand.
Personally I like my books to look as if they had been read. Some paperbacks may start to lose pages but generally books can withstand being read over and over again without falling apart. I don't own any valuable books.
