It reminds me of my brother. He always would be so careful reading any book he bought because he didn't want to break the spine. I used the same idea when I was a teacher. I would hold my hardcover books so gently when reading aloud, take off book jackets by sliding them off and putting them in front of me before reading to the kids. I would never explain why but they always noticed that I was handling my books respectfully and I would see them doing it too.
