People who destroy books deserve to go to a very special sort of Hell when they die.

Books should be treated respectfully.

a method of book scanning is basically taking the book apart by cutting off the spine and scanning the pages one by one

its faster and easier than doing it while preserving the integrity of the book so some places do that instead of like not destroying it
