    Also unfortunately it’s easier to scan without the bindings.

    We’re just a poor, nearly trillion dollar company! How can you possibly expect us to preserve these rare copies of culturally significant books when it’s slightly easier for us to just destroy them altogether? 🥺🥺🥺

      I’m pretty sure they buy those books by the pound (or tonne), ain’t nobody giving them rare copies of culturally significant books to destroy lol

        Yeah, sure. Everyone throwing out old books is knowledgeable enough to know and willing enough to check that the book they’re throwing isn’t rare or important.

        You’d think people would check on the off chance it’s worth a bunch but you’d be surprised.
