I was riding my motorcycle in heavy rains and had a book in my work bag which, as I later found out, doesn't resist water at all, and the book got soaked. Half the pages puffed up, and I hated myself for it at first, but after a while I realized I like it even better since it feels like the book has been through something with me and I will always remember that incident whenever I think about the book.

Though admittedly, caring about this is even more vapid than caring about my books being pristine.

Thanks for sharing that story! That is a nice way to think about it.
