We do nobody any service by trying to keep broken down books on the shelf. Being old is not the same thing as being valuable. Books can be recycled. To ensure that the covers don’t end up in a landfill (at least not after Brunswick switches to ecomaine, which will burn them for energy), tear off the hard covers, then put those into the trash and the text block in recycling. Paperback books can be just placed in the recycle bin whole.
