<p>[QUOTE="2manycats, post: 1742299, member: 13761"]Leaving it on a shelf is safe enough, provided it has some support on the sides and does not sag or slump. Laying it on its side is safest, if you don't stack anything on top of it. Keep it in climate you feel comfortable in - not too hot, not too humid; keep it away from direct sunlight. Kept so, it should be fine for another hundred years or more - looks like it's printed on good paper, and the cloth binding is not nearly as prone to decay as leather. It's a legal classic and worth a couple hundred or more, so it's well to keep it safe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
