Genuinely curious why you'd want to avoid these? To me they make the book look read and loved. Maybe you could buy two copies, one to read and one to look pretty??

This is the way. When I was younger I was obsessed with keeping my books looking pristine for some odd reason. Possibly drilled into me when I would frequent the library and was taught to keep those books as if they were my own. My family had a bit of a joke that I would just "peak" into books when reading. Now that I'm wiser I'm much less concerned about this; creases and cracks in the spine show the signs of a well loved book.
