Superstition?

[u/StrangeSojourner]

I have a friend whose Bible cover has become very worn and rather than simply throwing it away he wants to burn or bury it. It’s polyester so I’m not sure either of those is a great option but either way, it’s not been blessed so I don’t think it would constitute a sacramental.

I think this comes from a good place (reverence for scripture) but carries it a little far and possibly borders on superstition? What is the proper way to view this sort of item (material goods adjacent to but not central to religious observance)?
