Technically, they don’t prevent it. There are at least two reasons why you don’t SEE the pages turning yellow on the bookshelves in a bookstore:

1. Books don’t stay on their shelves long enough for you to notice the pages yellowing.
2. Their A/C works to keep the humidity LOW. Keeping the air dry slows the aging process of paper.
