Hello! First post here! I was looking for some advice! I have a decent sized book collection (mostly manga). The downside of my hobby is I also have OCD. When my books get slightly damaged it distresses me greatly, even if it’s just basic wear and tear from enjoying the books. What set me off today is I discovered the first volume of my most prized series has a decent tear on the book jacket.
What also doesn’t help is I lived in a building with a serious roach infestation up until very recently. Sadly they got to the books, and the ones that could be saved have markings all over them.
Any tips in keeping books pristine/ or accepting the flaws? Especially from those who also have large collections would be appreciated a lot! Thanks for reading!
