Time capsule really? So future generations can discuss racism once we weed it out? lol
No seriously there are a few ways to do this, but they really do bury the book
The proper way to dispose of the book is to first soak it in some water for a few days, and then bury it. So the ink comes off.
Wrapping them in a piece of cloth or something pure and burying them respectfully in a place where people normally do not walk upon.
Burying, for which a place that is clean and safe from tampering should be chosen. A deep hole should be dug in which it is thought most likely that the buried copies will disappear for a long time. They may be buried in a clean, pure place where they will not be subject to mishandling in the future, to the best of one’s knowledge.
