There would also be an insurance charge which would be refunded upon retrieval of the book, so people would be disinclined to steal them. I was worried the cost would be too high as well, but I&#39;m not quite sure how to deal with the problem.<br /> I suppose you&#39;re right about general wear and tear. I think a lot of people would treat the books more kindly, though, because they know they belong to someone else.
