Materials and care
Materials and care
📖 Handling
- Don’t force it flat; open it gently to prevent the spine from cracking.
- Wash or dry hands before reading; oils transfer quickly to pages.
- No folding corners (“dog ears”) or laying it face-down open.
- Grip the edge instead of yanking the corner.
🏠 Storage
- Store vertically on a shelf, away from sunlight and humidity (sun fades covers; moisture warps pages).
- This can bend covers and pages.
✏️ Marking & Writing
- Use light colors, only for essential points, and avoid ink that bleeds.
- Easier to erase without damaging paper.
- Lets you annotate without leaving marks.
🛡️ Protection
- Use a removable clear cover (Mylar or plastic wrap-style) to protect from spills and scuffs.
- Keep it in a bag with no loose pens, snacks, or keys that could scratch or stain it.
- Carry it in a plastic sleeve or waterproof section of your bag.
🧼 Cleaning
- Use a soft, dry cloth or gentle brush.
- For glossy covers, a slightly damp microfiber cloth works; avoid water on paper edges.
