Category talk:Worn-out books

Condition to qualify here

While i agree that worn out should be considered damaged books (i first created it as a parent category for damaged books, looking to have a category for apparently old looking books), I just thought of a problem with this definition of worn out as applied to books. many older books, suffering severe usage damage such that they are not safe to read (thus fitting the definition of damaged by wear) are subject to extensive restoration and repair. so, while a truly worn out object, such as a pencil, cannot be considered salvageable, many books are, thus not fitting the strict definition as applied here. I think we should give allowance for this, and include images of fairly worn out books in the category, not just the most extreme.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:07, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
