A designer I have worked with told about her son’s favorite books
that bore strips of tape to keep ripped pages in one piece. Some pages were
taped to the binding as well. While she lamented the fact that perhaps the binding
of the book wasn't strong enough, her real reaction was beautiful. She was thrilled
that her son had read and reread and loved these books. What she expressed was that he had turned
the pages so many times—out of love—and that was the important thing. So when pages
get torn or smudged, and bindings get broken, use your tape. And be grateful
that your child has found such pleasure from turning the pages of his beloved
books.
