  1. Here's a good temp, RH and dew point calculator site. http://dpcalc.org/
  2. "Besides light, there are additional environmental concerns, such as temperature and humidity, that can adversely affect a collection. For every 18 degree F (10 C) increase in temperature, it is estimated that chemical reactions in paper double. Relative humidity is a measure of the capacity of air to hold water. This amount varies as temperatures increase or decrease. Paper and other porous materials either absorb or lose moisture as temperature and humidity levels vary. This action causes shrinking, stretching, and the eventual breakdown of structural fibers, while contributing to formation of acids. The effect is similar to the cracking, splitting, and weaknesses that result when an outdoor wooden deck is left unprotected, though on a microscopic level."
  3. Why do they sell them so fast? Only one of those was held over a year and barely at that.
  4. The next contest, a 10 rounder, should be: rounds 1-3, 1 book each rounds 4-7, 2 books each rounds 8-10, 3 books each (20 books total) It would be like pre-season then regular season ending with a high-stakes playoffs. Green eggs was 2 books every round, I think.
