Book Storage

How do you store your books. In the house I hope. Whatever you do, please do not keep them in a non-climate controlled area. Like the garage or a storage shed. Case in point, I was just offered a
sizable book collection to buy. However they had been kept for several years in boxes in an area
that had no electricity. Guess what. ALL of them are ruined. Books take on smells, like smoke
from a smoker and in this case a very musty smell. So for me they are non-sellable. Too bad for
the seller. He is now stuck with a lot of books that are of little use to anyone, except himself.
They also show signs of roaches, whom leave behind roach "markings". So again, keep your
books in good shape. Like yourself. You both will last a longer time.

You can never have too many books.
