How Long Printed Photos Last

Modern photo books last for decades when you treat them kindly. Heat, humidity, and direct sun are the usual enemies — not turning the pages.

• Store upright or flat in a dry room
• Avoid attic heat and damp basements
• Keep out of harsh window sun for long stretches
• Clean hands before browsing (or enjoy the patina — it’s a life object)

A Glimp is meant to be opened. Scanning pages for video doesn’t replace the print — it gives you another reason to take the book off the shelf.
