gorsamp19507yI borrowed a music book for a roommate when I was delivering pizza. I was never able to return it, and it haunts me to this very day

Not sure how old you are or how mch prior experience with lending sruf..but, never ever lend someone something that you are not willing to part with. Even best friends and carefull people might damage it, so if you lend something, keep in mind that it might never find a way back to you..

I lent my sister my DVD of the first series of Black Books and it came back years later, scratched to hell. I can only think she must have used it as a drinks coaster, it was that bad.

Ask him or her to replace the book with a new one. This should be the usual way to go. I Don't see any problem here. If they destroy it, they have to replace it. Period.

@MojoJojo I won't mind it in the condition.
At least it'll look like it's been used when sitting on my desk :P
Hey you,
yeah, YOU.
Listen here: Don't EVER lend a book to a friend. Why? Just got back a book I lent to a friend, was in perfect condition. Got it back SOAKED in coffee and as CRUSTY as a KEYBOARD used by someone who EATS CHEETOS without washing their HANDS.
It twas a good and useful book on Linux commands... most valiant in my early days of exploration. R.I.P. my good friend.
