Book storage question! Okay, beyond donating, storing in offices, and mailing home millions of books, we've also started storing endless books in boxes in closets at home and in a basement storage space. I'm wondering if people have also ended up doing this and settled on a particular system or had particular tips?
I was thinking of buying plastic boxes, but I wonder if anyone found a particular type to work (attractive, reasonably transparent, but stackable, with lids and handles)?
Also have you found a non-labor-intensive system to remember/annotate where given books might be?
I've read this thread, and I'm a little more concerned about the storage/organization process, than keeping things archival and perfect. However, the basement area does get very hot--any ideas? I'm also assuming I should get a desiccant of some kind. |
