I'm in a social circle transition too, though mine is driven by changing interests and habits, which is good. It's been kinda weird and awkward at times, but it's fun to get to know new people better I think. Learn their quirks and habits, and connect at a new level. It's interesting, and I'm learning a lot about myself too in the process.
If there are just a few books you are really worried about, look into getting higher-end bindings of them. Most classics and stuff will have at least a few well-bound editions. If you have any unique ones, you may be able to find a local bookbinder to get them into something more lasting for you.
