How to keep paper books
Read books in a hygienic way
Don't eat while reading. If you have to eat while reading, keep a napkin next to it.
When the page can't be opened, don't use saliva to turn, use wet sponge instead.
Protect every page of the book
That is, when you want to make a mark, use a bookmark to mark, do not fold up the page.
If you don't read the book, you must close it, otherwise it will damage the spine of the book.
In addition, if you must hold a book in one hand, you must not fold the cover when you hold it. Otherwise, it's hard to flatten the cover. What's worse, you may damage the spine.
Store paper books in a dry place
As the amount of books increases, you may not be able to hold books on your shelf. Then when you store books, you must avoid damp places. In addition, the temperature of books must be stable. To be accurate, the relative humidity should be 50%, and the room temperature should be 10-18.3 ℃.
If you're not sure, wrap them in bubble wrap and put them in the box to avoid curling up the pages. If possible, place the box in a high place like the bookshelf to avoid water leakage or flooding.
Put the books in another bag before you ship them
Even if the book looks safe in our backpack or suitcase, it will actually collide with other things, and the fragile book will surrender first. Therefore, before you put books in your backpack or suitcase, you should put them in sealed plastic bags. If there is enough space, you can also use rectangular lunch boxes or other plastic containers to hold them.
Fix the books before they get worse
Some books have broken at the spine, so glue should be used along the spine. Some book covers are torn, and you can make a hard cover yourself.
Remember, frequent browsing can shorten the life of a book
A few small changes can help you keep your books for many more years. If you want to collect books instead of reading over and over again, it's better to read e-books and keep paper books. After all, every time you look at a paper book, it shortens its service life. Although paper books can't always look like new ones, the above methods can make your books more useful.
