Hi, here's a free ebook on how to break in a deck (they specifically label it as breaking in a bicycle deck).
Anyway, it's good read for those who struggle a little.
You will be shown:
1. How to open and handle a new deck to make it last longer.
2. Why it's vital to prepare a new deck.
3. The breaking in drill
4. Detailed moves and techniques to prepare the deck
5. How to tell when the Bicycle Playing Cards are ready.
6. Tips and tricks to make the deck last longer.
and much more.

In my opinion, that MagicShop.Co.uk Ebook lacks any real information. Plus, it's a compilation of other sources with little original material.
Not trying to float my own boat, but you should try this one instead. While it's for the 605s, the info is relevant for any deck of cards: BREAK IN YOUR PLAYING CARDS (http://www.leeasher.com/playground/articles/how_to_break_in_a_deck_of_playing_cards.html).
Hope that helps.
