Chop Up Your Books

The author advocates for physically dividing oversized books into smaller, more manageable volumes by cutting them at natural break points and rebinding the sections with makeshift covers. Using *Lonesome Dove* as an example, he demonstrates how this practice makes large books easier to hold while reading, transport, and store without legal or ethical consequences. The process requires only a sharp blade, glue, and materials like manila folders to create practical, portable reading volumes.
