this is a distinctly boomer behavior; never seen anyone younger do it

      If you want to break in a book's spine without actually breaking it, you hold the book upright and closed and then start opening a few pages on either side and gently pressing them down. Keep doing this until you reach the middle and the book is fully open. I usually like to give it a little massage to relax it too.
