Paper has an autoignition (spontaneous combustion) temperature of 842 °F (450 °C) and a flash point (set alight by static) at 662 °F (350 °C). Either way, both temperatures are much higher than 451 °F (233 °C)—books don’t catch fire at this temperature. https://ftloscience.com/flash-points-autoignition-fahrenheit-451/ https://ftloscience.com/flash-points-autoignition-fahrenheit...
