Soooo I collect manga (shameless fujoshi), and my habit when I get new manga in this house is to pick up the mail, go back to bed, open to make sure that everything is good, and leave books on my bedside until I read them and put them back on the shelf, after doing anything I need done first.
Well, after a few hours, TWO manga on two separate occasions have become 'warped'. The pages are wavy throughout the ENTIRE thing! I will post a picture once my hands are healed.
Reading online, it sounds like this is a humidity issue. The books are in my living room, I have a huge dehumidifier cracked up on full, and the books are squished tight on a shelf to try and straighten them. They still look bad right now, can any book-savvy people give me tips? Insight on what this is and how to prevent it? I've given up on a lot of collecting, but my manga is still very precious to me and I DON'T want any more books warped!
I don't have any bigger heavier books to squash these ones with, since I live with a VERY small setup at the moment.
