The book can safely be called the most disposable of all the reusable inventions created by man.

Thanks to modern printing technology, a single book can be read by hundreds, if not thousands, of people, but only a tiny percentage of books suffer this fate, while the vast majority are read only once.

Below you will find the top 5 ways to help extend the life of your book.

1. Offer interesting books from your library to your friends to read.

2. Take the books to a used bookstore and offer to sell them there. Don't offer fantasy novels and detective stories; old textbooks, rare classics, and new books are better.

3. Register on a book exchange website. This phenomenon is called "bookcrossing" and is quite popular in many countries.

4. Donate your books to the library – they will certainly be welcomed here.

5. Hand in old and unnecessary books for waste paper – in recycled form, uninteresting publications will bring more benefit to the environment.
