I am (again/still/perpetually) trying to organize my gaming collection, and was wondering if anyone had some tips or tricks for how to store LBB-sized books. Most Traveller books I'll just shelve, but that feels inefficient for the smaller books. I've been looking for a better way to store my handful of LBBs and other similarly-sized things like Mothership modules, and it came to a head today when I realized my copy of 101 Cargos has found a really good hiding place. So, who thinks they've got a good method of storing those little sneaky books?
Storing LBBs (and other LBB-sized books)?

I actually have plastic tubs that I store them in, and then a larger tub for the other stuff that just does not fit on the bookshelves. Nesting tubs as I stick the LBBs (and JTAS and other similar sized things such as the 101 series which I did manage to snag) in tub that is just about perfect fit, then it goes in the tub with my falling part deluxe Traveller box and magazines and all that stuff from the 80s I've carried around since, well, the 80s. all the Cepheus, Mongoose and reprint 8x11 Traveller stuff does go on the shelf.
though somehow I have misplaced my T5 deckplans. They will turn up eventually.

I store them flat, and flip them back and forth. So Book 1 will have the "spine" on the left, book 2 will be flipped to have the spine on the right. Otherwise, the fold starts making the books look like an AK-47 magazine.
Not so much an issue with the LBB, but definitely matters when stacking up 24 JTAS issues.

I keep mine in file boxes on a bookcase, one for Books, one for Adventures, one for Supplements, one for Judges guild stuff, one for FASA stuff, large artwork wallets for maps and floor plans, etc. I have also covered all my LBB in plastic flim to make them last longer. Stuff still goes walking occasionally though, so I am sure LBBs can randomly misjump.
