I have been collecting strategy guides for as long as I can remember. Today when I was moving some of my strategy guides I noticed something that I didn't like. The spines of some of my strat guides have a tear on the spine (almost resembles a crack). When I buy strat guides I go through every one to make sure they are mint, so I don't think it is something I would have over looked. I also notice that it is more frequent on Brady Game guides. The actual guide is perfect in every other way. Just wondering if anyone knows the reason for this so I can prevent it from happening.
