I never buy valuable editions of books, because there's no hope of me keeping them in good condition.
I'm one of those people who dog-ear books, drop them in the tub, spill tea on them, bend the covers, etc.
Same with vinyl - I could NEVER leave an album unopened in its original packaging. I could never resist the satanic pull to play it.
