Problem I've had, even with clear tape, is that the pages within fall out - those that my one daughter hasn't torn.

Actually, it's purported to be the "lead dust" that it emitted from the walls painted with leaded paint. I too am very thankful that the government has made such an industry of protecting me and mine from lead paint...and yet allows the upwind factory to spew forth all kinds of toxins into both the air and water.

I'll take my chances with the old books.
