Books, Their Uses and their Enemies There are many uses of books. They serve as storehouse of knowledge. They are a source of entertainment. Through books one gets to see faraway places and one also learns about great men and women. Books also serve as an inspiration because of the ideas they contain and the way these ideas are worded. Books, however, have several enemies from which we should protect against. Rough handling is one of the books enemies. Water, too, deforms books whereas fire destroys them. Insects, just like fire, eat up the book. Another enemy not to be overlooked is dirt. It defaces the book. Children who mishandle books may als be considered the books enemy.
