Why do they do this?

And on top of that, the dust jacket is too big and bulges out at the spine.

>tfw cat damages books at night

>>8335402
i would kill the cat without thinking twice.
i genuinely think cats are overrated as fuck.
they do not provide any value or love in return for the care that they consume. the only value they might have to us could be aesthetic and if they started fucking my books i would genuinely think that the cat is more of a nuisance than a pretty object. i would kill it and throw it out in the street.

They do this because you will keep buying from them. It is not worth the effort.

The fact that she wrote "tries to deflect blame" over the first line of The Trial really triggers my butthurt

>>8335815
Those are some pleb tier notes.

I'm still scared about the ghost in my house that moves books on my shelf. Before it only did it on the shelf next tot the door, now it does it with every book. Everytime I wake up I examine the books and they are moved slightly forth. It's killing me.
