I have some poker books that are little more than pamphlets and I am wondering how best to store them.

I am thinking about getting stiff mylar sleeves normally used for comics and then putting the sleeves in a binder with a label on the binder identifying what books are in the binder.

Has anyone else stored thin books like this?

Yes, I have a book from 1945 that I have sealed, but I don't do it for normal books.

I am not looking to seal them away. I am looking for some solution to store them vertical as opposed to horizontal. And they are so thin that simply storing them on the shelf vertically by themselves wouldn't work.

have you thought of getting a file folder? Just putting them in folders and then storing them in a file drawer or a portable drawer (the ones people purchase for portable filing/bookkeeping?

Another option if they are thin and few pages is to scan and digitize them and then throw away the originals. If they are paper copies and old, they may not be worth keeping anyway.

I hadn’t thought about the second option. They are newer, self-published works which, in many cases, turned out to not be very good.

I suppose I could sell them on Amazon and inflict them on someone else.

Or better yet, go to a live game and give them to some players. Make them worse and beat them out of every penny, provided you have counter-strategies against the concepts in those poor books.

Some are so bad, I don't think you would need an actual counter-strategy. Just play sound poker.
