Does anyone else contact every single book they buy?

My mother constantly picks on me because as soon as I bring some new books home, they are contacted within an hour. My friends think I'm crazy as well as often joke that they will lend me all their books to contact for them. I think the saddest part is...I would actually love to contact their books for them!

I just love contacting....does anyone else? Or am I really as weird as my freinds and family say I am?!

I guess if you really love your books and don’t want them scratched etc. then contacting is fine. But what if you don’t want the contact on anymore? you’re going to have to take it off slowly with care not to rip the bloody cover :P

I contact all my books. Im carazy and I hate the edges bending and looking dirty. I know books are meant to be read and loved, but i llike mine to look pretty too lol.

Emma you are not crazv! I have 4 rolls of contact in my room and I also cober my hardcover books in library wrap.

Haha Iris! I have 2 rolls in my room at the moment!! I love the feeling of contacting one then just looking at it's shiny perfectness!

I use to contact them! but I have way too many books now, I wouldn't know where to start!

Would you be interested in contacting mine? lol

Just put them all in a box and sit with a few rolls of contact and go one at a time lol that's what I did with all my old uncontacted ones at the start of the year!

I have the patience of a snail though I think...lucky I'm at school to be a librarian.

I WOULD love to contact yours, but...I couldnt deal with the guilt of putting a bubble on someone elses book. Because my skills arent yet 100% perfect, I do have the odd hiccup!
