“It’s unknown why the past owner decided he needed to store a phone directory in his fallout shelter”
“I bet your list knows why!”

I have many, save every large phone book. A relative looked under a sink in a bathroom in my house, saw stacked phone books and said, “We can throw these away.” I said, “Toilet Paper”. He rolled his eyes and shut the cabinet door.

I still say the Roman thing with the sponge on a stick is a better solution.

Keep a bucket of bleach water nearby to sanitize it.

But that's just me.
