Flammable Books

"Flammable books" refers to books or printed materials that are easily ignited and capable of burning rapidly. This characteristic is primarily due to the materials used in their production, such as certain types of paper, glue, or ink that are highly combustible. Historically, books treated with flammable substances or made from highly combustible materials posed fire risks, especially in libraries or archives. Understanding this helps in proper storage and handling to prevent accidental fires. Modern printing standards often prioritize fire safety, but the term highlights the importance of recognizing materials that can contribute to fire hazards.
