That is what I was going to say.
It's not like a novel where you give it away once you have read it.
I've read only a few books more than once, Treasure Island and Catch-22
come to mind.
But a good chess book is like a Beatles LP*. You go back every now and then
to play over again a game you like, to hear the music.
Also as you get better and your understadning of the game develops you will see
things (hear things) you never noticed before.
Never lend out chess books, you won't see them again.
*LP. it's a large round plastic disc with hole in the middle. Often called a record.
In the olden days we stored our music on these discs and listened to them
via record player.
Never lend out LP's, you won't see them again.
