Plus I keep them upright on my shelves and I am careful when I handle them, such as not closing the book with pens/pencils and other books inside of them. My 1e books still look darn good and I used them a lot, as well as my 2e, and now my 3e. Even my modules hold up very well with the application of the packing tape.Protected my DM screens very well too. Even helped minimize spill damage. For example my books were lying on the table when some bonehead spilled their soda all over the place. Despite my books being mostly surrounded by the spill the tape, and the weight of the books, kept the spill from getting to the paper part of the book before I picked it up and wiped it off. It saved a boneheads life that day since the bottom book was my Book of the Righteous, which is far more expensive than a core book.</blockquote>
