The best thing you can do is to store your books in a room with regular humidity levels and out of direct sunlight. Also don't put them directly against an exterior wall.
Don't stack too high whenever you stack, put books next to each other on a shelf that are around the same height. Be reasonably gentle with your books, wash your hands beforehand etc
Beyond that don't stress out too much. These can be expensive books and everyone here wants to keep their books in good condition but they aren't the dead sea scrolls or something.

Me too. I don't really see the point of special covers. And no cover can protect corners or pages to get torned, and no cover can protect the inside pages from aging.
Then keeping them in bags is stupid, needing to pull it out every time you want to read it. Or just never reading anymore because your are afraid to wear it down.
The best way would be to have a bookshelf that can close, with a see-throu window. Like that air, bacterias, humidity, dust, ... won't damage the book.
