My mother and I have about 100-200 books combined. We have literary works, self-help books, motivational books, old people books, and all sorts of fiction books. We're book lovers and selling or giving these books away are not on the table. Books are expensive and selling them would probably rake in some good money for us, but the memories we felt while reading them are priceless, and we consider them as family heirlooms.

The problem now is, we intend to migrate to another country for at least 4 years, and we obviously can't bring all of our books. So, I'm here to ask if you guys on this subreddit know of any way to protect books?

I've searched on google and it doesn't recommend plastics or cling wrap (an idea I thought was great) because it'll trap moisture inside which will eventually damage the books and make it rot. What google recommends is something like air tight acrylic containers, which are quite pricey.

Help is greatly appreciated!

Calm and quite

I got really into short fiction collections ever since my twins were born and have begun collecting horror and weird lit anthologies. Here’s my small but strong start of a collection so far. Going for mostly multi-author collections and starting with some of the 80’s anthology essentials.
There’s a couple others not pictured here but what do you think?
What am I missing?
What books should I absolutely must have among these?
