Some rules how to take care of your book
Touch your book with clean hands. Always wash your hands before handling your book. Oil, dirt, and debris on your hands can cause a lot of damage to the cover and pages. These kinds of stains will build up and can't be removed.
Avoid eating or drinking while reading your book. No matter how careful you are, spills are a possibility when you are eating or drinking. Keep your book away from food and beverages to keep it safe from stains. A large enough spill could damage the pages enough to make them unreadable.
Use a flat bookmark to mark the page. Never fold over the corners of pages to mark them, which will cause permanent damage. Marking your page by laying the book open flat or placing a large object between the pages (e.g. a large pen) will also damage the pages and spine. While you are reading your book, use a flat bookmark to keep the track of the page.
