I'm going to devour and destroy this copy and buy another for the  
long haul. I have to do a lot of reading on the road.

My ATD is not leaving the house or entering any rooms accustomed to  
high humidity. I have removed the dust jacket so that it won't become  
dinged or dingy, I make sure that my hands are clean before handling  
the book, and I will soon make a book cover, much as we made for our  
text books when I was a boy, but... of what material? Is the paper  
from brown paper bags/sacks okay for archival/valued/cherished/ 
valuable editions?

Please tell me that I am not alone in my respectful (neurotic?)  
handling of the new "The Book."
