It goes back to the old debate about whether books have value as objects themselves or whether the only thing truly worth protecting is the content they contain.
In the ‘Trade Ya’ episode Twilight decides to keep her books even though she knows she’ll never read them again, treasuring them as symbolic items.
That would seem to indicate the former.
Wait until Twilight finds out Smolder burned a book.

You know, for a girl who likes reading books, I feel like Twilight isn’t the best advocate for protecting books from harm. Remember all those times pre-season 5 when the books were all carelessly thrown off the shelves into a giant pile back in the Golden Oak Library? It goes back to the old debate about whether books have value as objects themselves or whether the only thing truly worth protecting is the content they contain.
