Handling ATD

[Ande]

My copy arrived from Amazon, a gift--but I am very disappointed with 
it--the pages were wavy (maybe moisture damage from the insignificant 
packaging and high humidity and the cover had some surface 
irregularities--again maybe due to packaging--so I went down to the 
local independent book store and paid the full price for a better 
"shelf" copy--I'm glad, because I will be able to loan out the 
first....however I did make a book cover out of brown paper bag for the 
first copy--think I will decorate it with pictures from the wiki, etc

I have removed the dust jacket so that it won't become dinged or dingy, I make sure that my hands are clean before handling the book, and I will soon make a book cover, much as we made for our text books when I was a boy, but... of what material? Is the paper from brown paper bags/sacks okay for archival/valued/cherished/valuable editions?
