I agree. On a semi-related note, more modern books can become collectibles in a hurry if they target niche markets and/or have short print runs. Two things in life that you tend to learn through experience: if you find such a book and know you're going to make good, hands-on use of it, buy at least one extra copy that remains on the shelf, not to be touched. You'll feel easier about reading your other copy that way, and maybe cash in with the coddled copy. Similarly, if you find a great pair of comfortable shoes, go back to the same place you bought them and buy two more pairs. You'll thank yourself constantly.
