To be fair like 3/4ths of the books on this 'shelf' are hardcovers and aren't exactly going to show any wear in the spines if read. Hell, how hard do you have to treat a average sized paperback like the Killers of the Flower Moon copy to have it show any sort of wear on the spine in a tight bookshelf like that

To be fair I like to beat the heck out of my books so they know who's boss

The only time anyone has seen more crack than my bookshelves is the CIA in the 80s

I’m the opposite, I gingerly open my books and freak out if I damage it at all when I’m reading it.
