Hello,
I'm sure this has probably come up before, but I couldn't find a previous thread.
I have noticed that the part of the pages 'exposed' on some of my books have become discoloured - this would be the top of the books, since the other sides, the side and bottom, are against the bookcase, if that makes sense - and that this discolouration has leeched into the page slightly; also, the discolouration is more pronounced at the front where the page meets the spine, working its way towards the back (since the spines of the book are at the front of the bookcase) if that makes sense. I was wondering if anyone knows what can be done to prevent this discolouration, as it infuriates me no-end. Would covering the bookcases stop this? I think it is due to the exposure of these parts of the pages, because, as I say, the parts not exposed have no discolouration, and the discolouration is most pronounced at the front, that closest to the 'outside', beyond the bookcase! (Sounds very dramatic, I know).
My bookcases are in a 'slightly converted loft, which I suppose is more readily subjected to the inclemencies of (the?) weather.
Any advice appreciated,
Aviv.
