Packing

I am in the process of packing up our books and came across a copy of Moutlon's concordance to the Greek NT. The spine was damaged in some hideous way I don't recall it being when I put it on the shelf. The very fact that I have not seen it for years suggested what I should do with it. I actually do search the text of the NT quite often, but at any of various websites that offer the service. I can't imagine looking information like that up in a book again. So, also considering the damage, I resolved (per Mme. Malkhos' orders to reduce the size of the collection as much as possible) to throw it away. Then I had the idea of using the pages for packing material--I was running out of newspaper anyway. Since Andrew is eager to help, though there isn't really anything he can do, I told him I wanted him to rip the pages out of the book. At about 800 of them I thought it keep him occupied for some time. But it caused him to burst into tears. He said he wanted to read it, not tear it up. I pointed out to him it was in Ancient Greek. But he concluded that I was just trying to be mean to him. So I am tearing them out myself as I need them, though I wish I didn't have to. I can't think what else to do with it though.
