How to take a book off a shelf

SavingbookspinesI know how to do that, I hear you cry, I'm not an idiot!

Would it help if I told you the advice wasn't coming from me, but from Martha Stewart? There, I thought so.

"Rather than tug books off the shelf by the upper lip of their binding, risking damage, try this: Push in the books on each side of the volume you want, then pull it out by grasping both sides of its spine. You'll also know where to return it. Look for the two books that are pushed out of place."

Honestly, what would we do without her (and, yes, it is "sarcastic Monday")?
