    A lot of more modern books yellow much easier. I forgot why, but something to do with how the paper is made.

      The paper has acid in it as a by-product of modern paper manufacturing. They specifically make acid free paper for archival reasons.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
