	In Mundane life I am a Director for a Museum and have had extensive experience in dealing with deteriorating materials and I would say that you have two basic options.  

	1.  Store the item in more ideal conditions by using an acid free book box, store the book lying flat instead of on end, and keep it out of the sunlight.  DO NOT store it in a plastic bag.  Plastic has things called plasticisers in it (thus the name plastic) that will damage the glue, paper, and fibers of the book if stored there for a bit of time.

	2.  Take the book to a binder or cut a deal with your local library where they could repair the book, (some libraries have qualified staff who do this for a price) or see if they will include your book in the next batch to the binders so you could get a price discount.
