    New books made with the latest technology should last longer than old books, right?

      A lot of more modern books yellow much easier. I forgot why, but something to do with how the paper is made.

        The paper has acid in it as a by-product of modern paper manufacturing. They specifically make acid free paper for archival reasons.

      LOL not if capitalism is involved.

      'latest technology ’ usually just means planned obsolescence and as a service costsso no, they probably won’t last long at all.
