1. Library books that have crumbs left between the pages.
2. When publishers change covers mid-series.
3. Mystery stains found in library books -- like is it spilled coffee? Blood? Nuclear waste?
4. Dog-eared pages.
5. Books defaced with a yellow highlighter.
6. Sandy pages left by someone who obviously took the book to the beach.
7. A dying Kindle or Nook battery.
8. Price tag stickers that tear the cover when you try to remove them.
9. When you lend out a book and the borrower never returns it.
10. Pages that are ripped, or worse . . . completely missing.
How about you? What's one of your pet peeves?

I really hate seeing someone bending back a book while they read it....the poor spine can only take so much!
Hmm...a book chiropractor might be in order I think.
All of the above, plus, I hate it when someone breaks the spine on a brand new book (someone did this to one of mine. They are not longer permitted to borrow my books). Also, there's a library patron that reads the same books I do that likes to make notes in the margins. Drives me crazy. I'm a book snob and am fully aware of it.
