How do you carry your books while commuting?
I read while on the train to/from work, but once I finish a book it looks a lot more used compared to a book I've read only at home. I carry it in my backpack which contains only book+laptop, but the wear&tear is excessive.

You can get book sleeves on sites like Etsy, which are just fabric pouches to keep your book in. I have a couple that I use when traveling and they keep the book protected!

Thanks! I'll try this!

I try to keep it in the paper bag I bought it in. I also keep it in its own compartment in my backpack.

I like the character of a well traveled book.

Generally in my backpack. Alot of times it gets bent or pages folded on but I just accepted it as a sign of something that has been out and about being read in the world.
