How To Take Care Of Your Books? | Storing Books The Right Way 

Yellowing isn't bad I like my books that way they add character to them

Frankly, looking beautiful without make-up. Simplicity is beauty.

Pass on to next generation .....bah!! I am going to die with my sweetheart(s)!!!!!!!.....l am going to make my books perform sati(no sarcasm)!!!!

Thanks for this!! I just took out the first book of Harry Potter that I owned and it looks brown! 😥😭 I almost cried!! I mean , it has been five years😂. You have maintained your books very well. Hats off to you!👍🏼

Very good discussion -- just two small points I'd add. Yellowing of pages is often a symptom of acidification, and that has two principal ingredients: humidity and chemical properties of the paper itself (often compounds added to enhance printing quality). Also, modern hardcover books are seldom made well enough to withstand the stress on the cover and joint caused by pulling the book from the shelf with your fingers at the top of the spine. For heavy or tightly packed volumes (a no-no also), it's better to push the book out a little from the front edge until it can be grasped along the back.

Storing and managing books is so much hard work. I have switched to Kindle for this reason but I loved reading physical books. Wish had more space!

Ahhh now I am regretting for keeping my books in drawer for almost 5 years..some of them still looks new while some have I guess turned pale yellow..I wish I had visited channel years back..then today I would had a better collection and amazing reading experience 😣😥.. Ps thanks u for making me awake and aware💖

Much needed video ❤📚 I don't have bookshelf but I do store my books in cloth bags.

All my books have varying degrees of yellowing, but one thing I've noticed in all of them is that the tops of the books are very yellow while the bottom and sides are much less so. I definitely think oxygen exposure plays a role in the books turning yellow. Because when you store your book on a bookcase the bottom is covered and the side is covered. Only the top part and the spine are exposed. I think that's why only the tops of my books are extremely yellow. But I'm not quite sure if this is the only reason.

4:11 I never concern about that before, I just think it keeps pages away from dust fall. But now I see, I looked at the damage I put on them. It's so terrible!! I will keep them turn upright. Thanks for your advice!!

How are you protecting the edges? Give some tips to school students. also please tell how to arrange books in a bag for school purposes

That's really helpful thanks for sharing. Another thing u could add, putting silica gel bags into bookshelves also prevents your books from moisture and humidity.

Oh! I was totally clueless about book spine management. 🙈 Thank you for this video ♥️

I live in wet tropical area . It has a moulds smell which i hate. It has a wet feeling during monsoon. The bookstore owner told me we have to clean with clothe often. I collect silica gel pack and keep them in the shelves

The tip about removing hard cover jackets when reading was really helpful, I would have never thought of that

Thank you for the great content.I think my books will always be yellow since I love reading outside on the grass.

Which type of bookcase shall i buy open or closed?

In my collection, World Boiok Dictionary f(A-K) find a prominent place. It is a 1990 edition and I bought the lexicon in June or July 2006.😊

That is why i love E-books, but I have this one book that is precious to me, its a paperback of Steve Jobs Biography

I have a question (really hoping u would answer to that) I am a student and don't have a book shelf nor do i have these fancy books... I just want to take care of my normal studying material and copies(which are lots of) So can i store each group of related notes and books in plastic ziplock bags(of course after cleaning them properly) lying on top of each other in a closed cupboard with no ventilation and no sunlight? My main concerns are 1. Dust getting accumulated on books 2. Them getting yellowish due to reasons(like idk why the books turn yellow.. Maybe sundamage, humidity and air i.e. oxygen exposure)

Plastic covering my paperback books has helped me a lot to keep them tidy☺️

I was looking for storing books for moving. But this was great to, can never know too much abut book care!

Love your channel! Please make a video on the best kind of bookshelves available in India, from jugaads & affordable options to high-end range shelves & cases. I'm having great trouble finding the best bookshelf suited for my space 😭

thank you for this video. I once put my books out in the sun and the spine broke of some of the books😭😭😭😭

I've been keeping my books in a closed area thinking the longer exposed it is to oxygen & sunlight the yellow it gets. Lol. Thanks so much. Gtg, imma let them breathe now hahahah

🥰Thank you for sharing how to keep books ❤️

This was the perfect video!!!! I really needed some tips 💙💙 loved the video

I'm buying a bookshelf soon and this really helped. Thanks!

I have noticed that while buying paperbacks if they are floppy, the spine won't break. Stiff paperback means the spine will break

Amazing one!! That spine problem with thick books,so relatable!!

If you are reading hardbacks .... rich people I shouldn’t’ve laughed so hard

Omg! The books behind you in a right side is that a harry potter series?! Myghaddd i search in yt how to care book (because i bought new book haha) and i saw this. And waaaaaah idk if that is hp series 😂😍 i envy you to have a complete seriess sana oll 😂😍

To prevent cracking the back i usually read the ebooks and get paperbacks anyways for the collection. Thick books like asoiaf and sjm books are very heavy to be read from physical copies that is why i read them on Phone it's easier that way

I like☺️ the way to talk with facial expressions. Apparently another RU-vidr prajakta koli has also same way to speak. By the way i like your audacity to review, No mattet what, Good is good, bad is bad #HonestBookTuber

This was soo sooo needed Thanks Manpreet!!!!!!

Thank you so much ma'am for guiding us that how to manage our books

The permanent Solution for yellow pages would be to make paper with hemp fiber.

I have so many books that when I dust them it takes 3-4 hours for half of the books. I have 1500+ books. And I give up everything half in the way while removing dust with a book-cleaning brush individually, very tiring :(

thank you for the info and i have listened carefully 👍👍

Thank you sm I brought it ends with us today and ended up curling the last page 🤦🏻 thank you for this

I don't know why but Di trying hard to control her emotions while talking so beautifully ❤️😖

what bookshelves do you recommend, wood, plastic etc; and what type.

Can we cling wrap books? Will it protect from dust and insects?

It sucks whn i ordr n amazon they gve wrst paperbck at times.. for cost cutting thr s no othr options than odering online thru amazon...

I also love my books I care for my books and keeps them safe 🥰🥰🥰books are my friend whenever I feel alone it's only with me

2:15 What a coincidence. I came here searching for this while reading the same book you're holding.

What if u cover tht open book shelf with a cloth ? Will tht prevent dust and help??

I also have a harry potter book whose pages turned yellow, i also have other books but they didn't turn yellow even though i kept them in the same place, i guess its just harry potter books 🤔🤔

Please make a video on good conversation skill both hindi and english as well on english learning skills please

well done dear sister, you are unmatchable in India. best of luck from Pakistan Peshawar.

Thanks much for this video. I have 500+ books and they turned into yellow because of keeping them in closed cupboard. Any suggestion to get them back to white?

Much needed!! Thank you so much ❤

I don't hoard a lot of things, but books are something I don't get rid of.

I follow all these but my books get yellow very quickly... Please help me😭

Not being a simp but u look pretty without any makeup and was looking at u for the whole time

Thanks for the useful tips Manpreet. Any suggestions on preventing mold/fungus on books in moist cupboards?

Finally a booktuber I can look up to

finally! someone pointed it out. i hate color oriented book shelves. i tend to buy so many longggg book series and how do u even find ur next book to read in the series when its color oriented : | either by size or by series order. thats how i like my books to be organized. and yeah i am that rich reader who loves to buy hardbacks but only when they cost below 1000 >

I am buying a new bookshelf. Should i buy it with glass doors or without? Kindly reply which one is better.

Thanks, very helpful, learnt some new things. It dusts a lot in my place and dusting my books would take a whole day. So I keep some books expensive ones sealed in a plastic cover or bubble wrap. Is it ok or they will turn into yellow pages? Thanks

Should I start through Harry potter book series as a beginner

Wonderful it will help me for my Home Library...

Should we put brown covers on our books or leave it just the way it is. ?

Thanks so much

Hey Manpreet! You have been doing an awesome job. Carry on doing such great work. At what age did you start reading books? And what's your present age?

2:04 this is so amazing to see. Photographer's POV 🧐

I hope someone can help me and reply to my comment. I live in Mumbai, where during monsoon, the humidity reaches close to 90%. I own paperbacks only (except a few hardbacks). I can't invest in a dehumidifier as it won't be a logical solution to a humid city like Mumbai. How can I save my books from humidity that cause pages to go all weird.

Tips on how to protect book edges

What if you are going away for a long time and you have to lock your library? Do books need to breathe?

Very good method of your teaching

Does Ziplog bags are good to take care of our books ? Please reply

Wanted to know your thoughts about ebooks? Do you prefer ebooks or physical books? The thick game of throne copy u showed in this video - such kind of books are difficult to store and will get damaged while reading. A kindle copy of the same though is easily manageable. However physical books have their own charm. Please make a video on ebooks vs physical books. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks

My house is on ground floor therefore lot of dust always enter . Keeping the shelf open and also preventing them from sunlight 🥺

this one is really needed Manpreet. thanks .

Thank you so much didi... I got a perfect video for myself.. Tysm agan😊

I have a couple books I want to carry in my satchel bag. They don’t fit vertically so I want to store them horizontally. Do I put them in spine down? I want to preserve them as I carry them. I’d assume putting them spine up could ruin the pages by putting the book’s pressure on the pages ?? Thanks for your knowledge

I have a book which has nearly 12 hundred pages and the book is actually huge. Like it's long and and broad obviously. And it's a hardcover. But it's corners are getting ruined. Could you please tell me some ways to save it?
