Let me just say for the record that I have some latent librarian gene that only comes out when a book is vandalized. Seeing a book in the above state enrages me.
Moose shredded several pages of a book about one year ago, so maybe it is a once-a-year school-is-starting-shred-the-books-before-they-shred-you ritual. I don't know, but I am seeing red about they way he read this book.
