Bookshelf trick. Stop curls.

Huh and there I thought it was holding the book open that was the problem. Live and learn.

Der.. What? This guy has been selling books 'for Nealy 30 years' and he lines his books up neatly to the front of the shelf edge? Never noticed the amount of work that would involve to keep neat. Never noticed that books more likely to fall off the shelves if right on the edge? Never noticed the bloody big dust trap gap at the back of the shelf? I'm calling bullsh** on that.

That's just bait.

But, but I like the line of books all even at the front.

Of course mine are mostly hard bound and less likely to display that effect.

Besides, jamming them hard like that would push them into the row of books behind them.
Yeah; my bookshelves are that loaded with books.

Although, I have used something similar to the above as a means of straightening a book after reading it.

Rodents love to travel behind books lined up at the front.

I have never seen this in a Library -- Even in the hundreds of photos of libraries I just Googled. How strange.
