Some of the most valuable books have more to do with the inner world than the outer.
Other than binding, which can be re-done pretty easily, paperbacks are readable after 50-100 years.
The paper may yellow, but crumbling takes a bit longer.
- TheOtherHobbes 6y agoYou may have been unusually lucky. I barely dare open some of the paperbacks I bought in the 70s and 80s. Although I have PDFs of all of them, so it doesn't matter. The fact that I can change the font size to make them legible now does, to me at least. The hardbacks are still fine. (Except for the print size.)
