Set books in <A class="iAs" classname="iAs" href="#" target="_blank" itxtdid="8919341">boxes</A> side by side, alternating them so one spine faces down and the next spine faces up. "Don't stack books on top of each other. The covers and pages can warp," says Mann. Wrap valuable books, like leather-bound ones, in Mylar sheets (from 48 cents each, pearlpaint.com). Then store the boxes in a closet free of temperature fluctuations. </P></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AC5A2ADD-7E80-4A9A-9746-36AF0286732B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
