My Dilemma!

I feel the overwhelming compulsion to read Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf but cannot find my reading copy of it!
This leaves me to the jewel of my book collection, a 1929 first printing first edition of the book, which is understandably valuable (both sentimentally - it is among my favorite books - and financially).
Should I risk damaging the old copy by reading it? Or go and get a new copy or just wait until I can find mine or what!?

Hesse?
Kill yourself instead; you'll thank me later.
