very helpful!! Just got a tale of two cities, Alice in wonderland, Pride and prejudice, and an Edgar Allen Poe collection at Barnes and noble and I really like their designs so I definitely wanted them to last!

Thanks Harold. I’ve always been that guy who reads my hardcover books only about half open, leaving me preferring paperbacks. 😂 Not sure why it took me this long to finally look up how to fully open one.

Thanks so much! I discovered recently that some of my favorite books almost falling apart because I didn't know to do this with them, which pains me deeply, but now I don't have to worry as much

oh my god! thank you so much!!! I was afraid to break the spine of my new book, and you helped a lot!

I just got a new hardcover book today and I was scared to open it so thank you !!!

Thankyou, sir. This is my first time reafing a hardcover book. Very helpful video.

Just bought some volume hardcovers this video helps a lot!

Older comments are making dumb jokes, but this video is incredibly helpful! Thank you, sir!

this man is doing god's work

Thank you :) I actually just received a bible. And I was looking for a video about how to safely open a new book and I find a person who has a video who also opens a christian book. That's funny.

Thank you so much, just got my First Law hardcover books and will use this technique to preserve it. I hate cracked books.

Thanks for taking the time to make this!

I have to do this everytime before a workout, too. To my legs, and arms, and back, and stuff. I'm over 40. :) GREAT video, though! I learned something like this in grade school. New textbooks for the year (lucky us!). --except that the teacher had all of us bearing down with all our tiny student weight on our desks to smoosh those poor little textbooks flat, HA HA!! We didn't know any better, but watching this video and comparing to that memory gave me a laugh. THANK YOU for that laugh! God bless!

It becomes even more challenging when the book is hardcover and over 900 pages.

Thank you so much...this way spine will never get crack

This is pretty useful

I buy hardcover books over paperback pretty often so this is helpful. Thanks!

Thank You Sir ! Very Helpful

Thank you so much, Harold! :)

i was always told to protect the spine you should place the backbone on the table then gently fold down front cover and then the back. Then alternate folding down a small amount of pages from the front and then while holding the main paper bundle of the book fold down a small amount of pages from the back and continue this front and back folding down gently until you get to the middle.

Awesome tips!!

This guy is a legend he knows everything he looks so young ASWELL !

Wow this video is really helpful for me thankyou😊

When we got new books back in school, the teacher would have all of us students do this process.

Hi si, thank you for the advice and I will use it on my future adquisitions. I have recently purchased a limited edition omnibus that is sown together and in the websites book care part it says Keep the open angle as small as possible when reading (flat at 180 degrees is a bad, bad thing)" . How come opening it to 180 degrees is a bad thing? also could I still use your technique on a book which is close to 1000 pages? Thank you very much.

thank you

That was helpful , thank u

I like to buy original copies of books and this was helpful so I could keep them until the value is worth more and when i’m done with it :D

Informative

Thank you

I haven't been able to open my book for 3 years I FINNALY learned how

Interesting. I guess there is some disagreement on the best approach. I only heard for the first time *yesterday* that there is a "correct way" to open a book. What's odd though, is every other source I have seen (so far) suggests sitting the book on its spine, lowering one cover, then the other, then laying down a few pages at a time, alternating from the front and back.

A book? Never heard of that...

Does this work with small paperbacks ?
