That is a great description, and I agree. In an old apartment where I used to live in the midst of book boxes, I would, on occasion, unearth books only to find that they had worm holes in them, and I knew I didn't buy them in that condition. In one instance, I actually found the little guy still sleeping in there. I gently closed the book and placed it back in the box. I'm sure he needed the book far more than I did.
