  1. I am aware that temperature affects how quickly comic books degrade.  I have seen the library of congress suggestions for storage of comic books.  They recommend storing books away from windows and doors, as well as away from radiators and vents.  All of this seems logical, but how far away should they be?  How close is too close?  Should they be on the other side of the room?  I currently have books being stored inside of comic cubes, which are about a foot away from a vent in a walk-in closet that has become my comic storage room.  I noticed that the side of the cube feels cool to the touch, but the books inside do not feel noticeably cool.  If I close the vent, it becomes warm and humid in there.  Anybody with experience on the impact of temperature on comic degradation?
