How do you treat a bible?

Muslims have complained that the Koran is often displayed on the lower shelves, which is deemed offensive as many believe the holy book should be placed above "commonplace things".

Now library officials in one city have been told to keep all holy books, including the Bible, on the top shelves in the interests of equality.

It has caused concern from Christian charities that this will put the Bible out of the reach and sight of many people.

I actually stumbled across this practice before in discussions of Islam. I found the contrast ironic - Muslims complaining that the Koran was displaying too low (insufficient transcendence) while Christians complain about the Bible being displayed out of the reach of the people. How should you treat a bible? I know that I've got a copy or two that's taken quite a beating over the years.
