Yes completely. I just wrote about this on substack actually - so i was thinking of this recently. I used to buy all these old books on pavement stalls when I lived in Myanmar - not because I wanted to read them but because they seemed like they had had interesting lives. A worn book is one with an interesting story in itself.
A captivating read. Love the book for loving, book for dropping in the bath line. Sorry I am paraphrasing but that!
Pleased to have an ally! I love books having stories, not being pristine things to venerate.
