TIPS TO SAVE YOUR BOOKS FROM BOOK-WORMS

      Keep the spine of the book healthy. Put your book on its backside, open it and press carefully with light pressure along the bound edge. Reduce stiffness in your book with this step, which prevents spines from cracking easily. The spine of a book is one of the first places that shows wear and tear and once damaged lessens the value of the book

      Take the dust jacket off of hardcover books and keep it in a safe place to prevent it from getting stained. Do this to also keep the jacket from ripping accidentally while reading your book. Purchase temporary book covers to use on hardback books and paperback books to prevent the covers from staining.

      Keep your books in a stable temperature. Do not allow your books to get too much heat; they can become brittle and tear easily. Too much humidity can cause mildew, which will ruin your books as well. Store your books in a cool, dry place.

      Store your books in an upright position with plenty of shelf room but not too close together. Only stack books that are heavier than usual. Lay these on their sides. Never stuff your books together on a shelf and make sure your shelf can handle the weight of your books.

      Always use a bookmark so you do not have to turn down pages to save your place while reading. Turning down pages leaves unsightly dog-eared pages that are ugly and annoying to look at.

      Gently repair any torn pages before they become worse. Buy special book tape and use it for the repair. The tape is acid-free, which protects the delicate pages. It also does not crack or dry out like a regular packing tape would do.

    Bookworms come when u r not using the books. So start reading them …JJJJ
