The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Are book collectors possessive about their books? What would they generally do if someone asks to borrow one?
Would they be concerned about the condition of the book coming back?
Definitely. Book collectors usually take great care in preserving the condition of their books, so it's understandable that they would be concerned about the book coming back damaged or in a worse condition. That's why some collectors prefer not to lend their books out at all.
