For most of my life I always read books while in the bathtub;and the books have never shown a problem with the exposure to steam.
Well, I just recieved a couple new woodworking books (a hardcover & a softcover)--and after having been in the tub but for a short time I could not help but notice that the pages had started to "shrivel up" a bit; this had never happened to me before while reading in the tub. Upon inspection, I found both books were printed in China. And these were not inexpensive books.
Are there any bookmakers/binding people here? I'm wondering if this is the result of a different printing process/paper quality used oversees.
