How do I tell if my book spine is broken ?
As the title says, how do I tell if my book spy is broken do hardcover books, even have spines if so, how do I tell if it’s broken?
If you can’t tell it doesn’t matter.
A broken spine means a book has been opened wider than it should have been. This leaves a very prominent crease on the spine of paperbacks, more prominent than the crease that naturally happens when reading a book normally.
Hardcover books do have a spine, but a broken one is harder to see since, because of how hardcover books are bound, the spine doesn’t usually crease. For a hardcover book I would look for damage along the edge where the pages are pressed tightly together. Is anything failing there, are there any creases that aren’t as obvious or any tearing.
