I was on the internet the other day when I found this video on how to open a book without breaking the binding:

Despite the video being rather weird (around the halfway point) and kinda cringe-inducing (Dan Brown = Literature?), I think the method is valid.

My dad is pretty autistic about books and has made me do this since I was like 12. Not sure if it really helps, the binding eases up as you go through the book anyway.

I don't remember the last time I read a printed version of a novel, but I still know to do this.
