I have a sneaking suspicion that in those ~dark ~academia ~aesthetic posts, the books in the photos are turned around with their pages edges facing out bc the books they actually have are contemporary tv on paper books that don't match their ~color ~scheme

#opinion #and don't tell me about turning pages edges outward to protect spine from fading. i know #tbh thats a worse choice because the paper is more delicate abd vulnerable and you'll get more rapid toning damage to your page edges #just put your vulnerable books in a place without direct sunlight #my mid 19thc clothbounds and all my leather bounds are right on a case right below a window abd face into the room and are at the best #orientation to provide protection #within the logistical possibilities of my house setup #my thoughts #thoughts #books
