The neatest thing was reading a note written in French on the inside cover. I dunno if I have any pictures of it lying about.
In a few months (or once my job situation is steady again), I plan on paying $100-150 or so and getting that particular book restored with new leather covers. If the covers are still attached to yours, you can get some restoration work done for around $50-75 that will make them suitable to be shelved again at the very least.

I have a few of those. They're falling apart, so I don't touch them.

That's a very good idea, but it's pretty expensive for a college student.
