There´s a guy who made a fortune within no time, maybe ~ 12 years or so ago, after introducing a way to conserve antique books and prevent insect grub. He since sends out teams to museums all over the world. His patented method is rather simple. Dense plastic bags are taylored / pulled together to demand, covering whole book shelves. Then they will be deflated with vacuum and sealed. In the meantime the same principle has been brought to the market for storing away textiles / preventing damages through moths. It´s plastic bags ( of the size of a suitcase ) that can be attached to your common vacuum cleaner, functioning like mom´s vacuum bag device for the freezer. Getting yourself those bags for textiles to put the books in, and then storing the whole thing away in a dark place should do, I suppose. From what I recall my cousine saying the bags are even inexpensive. Ruphus
