I wonder if this has happened to anyone else:
I was checking out my bookshelf the other day and I saw this.
Fellowship of the Ring: Read numerous times, lent to a bunch of friends, spine destroyed, taped back together.
Two Towers: Read once (maybe twice), some wear, a break in the spine.
Return of the King: Unread, though I started it once!
The Hobbit used to fit in this box too, but now it sits to the side, as the Fellowship is too large rebound.

Ha I remember seeing those at your place when you lived with Steve! I remember being like “wow that copy is jacked up”!
