Careful usage
As I mentioned, I'm planning to get an e-reader. I thought it'd be neat to make a hardcover book case for it.
The idea of mutilating a book pains me, but I figured I could get over it. That book sitting at the library book sale priced at a nickel isn't doing any other good in the world.
So the very first book I was checking as a candidate because it was a hardcover of about the right size and with a sound binding was a library discard with this bookplate inside the front cover:
Your careful usage of this volume will preserve its value for those who follow you.
Now I feel like a jerk.
