[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 5895, member: 25"]Books are used to being kept in British libraries in British houses with little heating at any time and whatever humidity comes along, for hundreds of years. They are tough things, usually and you have to work to mess them up, like having leaky roofs dribbling on them or a bookworm infestation. I'd say yours are as well placed as they are likely to be anywhere. I have 300 year old books in the shed (not many, admittedly) that I'm not expecting to come to harm.[/QUOTE]
