Preventing manga books from having yellow pages


I just started collecting mangas I wonder how am I going to prevent them from
having yellow pages. Currently, I store them in a glass shelf without a cover.

Are there any other ways?




Although I have no manga, I do have a large comic book collection. I protect
them with "comic book bags" (or sleeves) and anti-acidic cardboard. They are
stored in special boxes designed for comic books. These supplies are also
available and fitted for manga. You can store 1 or 2 books per bag. If two,
you place them back to back, with an anti-acidic card in-between.

There are several vendors. The one I use is [Bags
Unlimited](http://www.bagsunlimited.com/), which has been around since 1976.
They have a huge number of "archival supplies" for comics, books, CDs,
magazines, you name it.

I just read @Maroon's comment. Once yellowed and brittle, you can't do much
about it. But the purpose of the anti-acidic paper is to minimize damage to
the books in the first place by helping neutralize the acids in the paper
stock of the books.
