This kind of deterioration is VERY common in books printed before the advent of acid-free paper in the 1980's. Broken Spine: Broken spines are caused by improper handling or shelving and creates a break or split in the binding a certain pages. It can also be caused by the deterioration of the glue used in the spine’s binding. Glue deterioration is especially common in books from the 1950’s and before. A broken spine can cause the spine’s cover edge to be creased, the book to open or stop at a certain page or pages to become loose and fall out.

Chipping: Chipping refers to one or several small pieces of paper that are missing from the paperback cover edges or from a hardback dust jacket.

The damage can be caused by storing the book incorrectly or folding the book cover back.
