It's not hard to store books correctly, though. My father collected around 30,000 books during his lifetime. (He was a professor at a higher education facility for librarians.) Most of them are from 20th Century but many also from 19th Century and a few of them are up to several hundred years old. They're all perfectly readable. The only issue is dust.
It pains me a lot that the collection will eventually have to be sold at large by the meter and his library will disappear because nobody in my family has the space for so many books.
- emptyfile 4y agoSounds like it is actually hard to store books correctly. I couldn't even be bothered to bring my couple of hundred children's books when I moved from my parents house, let alone 30 000.
- jonathanstrange 4y agoIt's hard to get the storage space if you don't have it, but it's not hard to store them. You put them on shelves in a dry room and they will last hundreds of years. That was my point.
