there is an option to delete a post but it never works. Why is that?
TheSkaFish said:$107 in damage so far. And that's the best case scenario, only replacing the most essential books. And I'm going to have to somehow replace all my things sneakily too, because my parents don't believe me that it is mold, and will throw a tantrum if they find out I've been replacing my damaged books. I've looked it up, it's mold for sure. All the bad signs are there. There's moisture on the inside of my window every morning. My friend's book was really ruined. Slimy to the touch, with black spots inside that smeared. Yup. That's mold all right.
I now have to hope it doesn't get at anything else while I am replacing the books. I really hope nothing else is ruined.
It's like a ******* fire. Pardon my French, but **** you, mold. **** you.
Any book lovers out there, does anyone have a way to store books in a moist environment without them getting moldy? I can't really store them anywhere else, either. My room, which I share half of, is all the space I've got to work with. The only thing I can think of is to store them in a sealed plastic tub. I'd been storing them in my closet, but unfortunately my closet is right next to a poorly sealed window which lets moisture into the room. This must be why my books are all ****** up. I don't want to just not have books anymore, but I don't know what to do here.

Anyway, I wish your parents did something about that, because that is really not healthy for you to live near mold like that.

I don't use tubs but I put them in cardboard boxes and tape every single flap with packing tape and even over do it with a few strips, so nothing can get into the box (I'm sure your tubs will be fine).

Thank you everybody.

I've had books in similar situations that survived mold and any silverfish that tried to get into the boxes. I'm talking about had them in boxes for a few years and they were in good condition when I opened them.
