It kills me every time I look at them.

I don’t blame you. Those are early classic upland books (at least as I can see the remaining spines). As a long time book collector, it hurts to see that. So sorry for you.

So I gotta ask; why? I could say all the silly stuff, like is there some sort of vitamin deficiency, but I won’t. Just asking again: why?

Ive seen this from friends before a few times. Never seems to be a good explanation.
Some people suggest that the dogs are attracted to the old glue. |

Steiner, the thought of the glue crossed my mind.

And mice and bugs and humidity… Seems se just can’t have nice things.
It would truly kill me. Many of my books have been inscribed to me and to lose those would be terrible. .
