Sounds like people shouldnt bother living in such shitholes.
Comment on This bookstore wraps all books in plastic.

Even with a humidifier on 24/7, you can never drop the humidity to a point that books don’t start rotting.

Ranking 4th safest country in the world. USA ranks 89th. Not sure what you mean by “shithole”.

Cover the books in oil so it repels water?

But what if we refined that oil into plastic and used that to cover the books instead? That way people wouldn’t get oily fingers from reading.

You just but there is a semi-recent invention of waterproof paper used in journals and the like and it’s ~18% plastic.

Maybe the properties would be similar to plastic.
