Here’s mine, I have more but I hit the max photo limit :( I’m still searching for the skin ARC from the 90’s but I’m so thankful for the collection I’ve amassed already. Kathe is def one of my heros. All books shown except for the 2020 edition of The Cipher (second pic) are first editions.
I’m getting a t4-l4 fusion soon and I sort of want to ask for a brace to wear for a bit after healing. Just to keep myself stabilized more and prevent myself from bending over wrong until I get used to the limited movement if that makes sense. I’m paranoid about not thinking about what I’m doing and bending over to tie my shoes and hurting myself because I bent the way I’m used to bending. There’s more ‘discreet’ braces that aren’t the massive ones compared to what was considered standard many years ago, that’s making me more open to the possibility of maybe using one if needed.
Hi all, I’ve been a book collector/archival enthusiast for a while. I’m worried about damage relating to pests like silverfish, mold and so on.
I’ve been keeping my books in a cardboard box, every so often I’ll get a new box if the old one is damaged, I check my books semi regularly for any signs of damage and I’ve been lucky so far. However, I live in a fairly humid area and mold tends to be an issue in some cases. I’ve seen silverfish in my home before (it was only once but still, ew) and I don’t really want to risk stumbling across any inhabiting my books.
I considered using some sort of plastic box, however, some types of plastic can cause outgassing which can be damaging. I’ve thought about a metal box with some moisture absorbing silica packets in the bottom, but I don’t know if that would be overkill. I don’t know if wood would be a great option. Archival boxes can be a good option but they can still be damaged fairly easily.
