why some books - paperbacks version only&low quality paper??

Fireindahouse SG

Some expensive best selling books hor.. always print in only paperback versions and uses the paper arhh… waahhhh like rice paper like that not even the quality and durability of our daily foolscap paper.. paper material only how cheap only considering they are selling the book for $90++ cant be the reason of saving cost which ultimately causes them to do so..is it they do so so that the book can get damaged easily and readers have to buy new one earlier for replacement in order to boost their sales?? a cheap tatic?..but im looking forward to keeping the book long term.. but the paper arh.. waaa turned yellow in only 6mths (kept under dry conditions in enclosed bookshelves) ..somemore so expensive..no hardcover to lengthen the lifespan also…

any advise to prevent books in kept in enclosed bookshelves from turning yellow arh??

the scotch tape will damage my soft papercover,,i treat that book so precious like bible.. but even bibles is available in hardcovers..

and seems like there is no way to prevent the paper from turning yellow..

the only best way that I can think of for now is to laminate them otherwise store them in air-tight bags & fyi, all white stuff will turn yellow in time to come
