THE PERILS OF SHRINK-WRAP

Nancy W. Green, Librarian of the American Numismatic
Association writes: "Someone mentioned books in shrink-wrap
this week. This is not the best way to store books. Most
shrink-wrap has a few small holes in it now but if it doesn't
and there is any moisture trapped inside the packaging you
may get green and growing books. If you live in a humid
climate, I would remove the shrink-wrap just in case, even
if it does have holes. Fire and water are the two biggest
dangers to books and it doesn't take much water."
