How do i prevent spine creases on paperback books?

admin — Thu, 10 May 2012 11:20:09 +0000

Like when I read a paperback book it always seems to end up getting creases on the spine. How do I prevent this from happening?

I hate it when I get creases in the spines of my books too! I’ve learned a way in which to read them so this doesn’t happen. When you open the book, instead of bending it right back so that the pages are laying side-by-side with one another, just open it to a certain angle so that the opposite facing pages are near to touching, but not enough so that the book is closed or that you can’t read the book. This way there will be no creases in the book and you’ll be able to read it too. Mission accomplished!

I am applying for a 6th grade camp councilor and I need a list of 6th grade books for them to read. I like if they are realistic fiction or fiction books. Nothing scary like vampires, etc.,….. Fun to read. Maybe not too easy and not too inappropriate for them to read either. Thanks!

What are good science fiction books to read for someone who want to start reading them so nothing that complicated so more character based than hard science thanks in advance.

BQ.1 Are there any good free science fiction books on IBook on the iPad.

Cory Doctorow wrote Little Brother. It is not hard science. It is free since he believes in Creative Commons.

Baen Books allows some of their older books free.

I need to read a historical and mystery fiction book that isn’t too hard. (Like junior high level-ish…) I would like it if u gave me a link to a summary or review about the book. thanks!
Oh, I finally found a historical fiction book. So right now I need mystery books. Thanks! By the way I don’t really like most books with Old English so please try to avoid that.

Catherine, Called Birdy by Karen Cushman is historical fiction and funny! It’s the diary of a sassy, strong-willed English girl named Catherine, called Little Bird or Birdy, who lives in the Middle Ages.

If you’re looking for a mystery, try these two books:

They Never Came Back by Caroline B. Cooney. Cathy Ferris is the new girl in school with a past she’s trying to hide. http://www.shvoong.com/books/mystery-and-thriller/2174780-/

Shakespeare’s Secret by Elise Broach. A girl named Hero moves into a house with a fascinating secret linked to the great playwright himself. http://www.shvoong.com/books/mystery-and-thriller/2169776-shakespeare-secret/

Hope this helps!
