Thin/tissue paper that won't harm prints

I've just got a book that has some prints mounted on some of pages and they stick to each other very slightly when the book is closed (front of print to front of print). I'm concerned that after being on my bookshelf a while they'll stick together more firmly and won't come apart without damage so I'd like to put some sheets of paper between the prints to prevent this.

I was thinking of the thin almost tissue like paper that's on the back of the sleeves that hold negatives - is there anything special about this paper other than it being acid free and does anyone know what it's called?
 
IMO you need acid free tissue paper. The Giclee printers I use send every print interleaved with a sheet and I hopefully would surmise that you need such a material???
 
Thanks, that's exactly what I was thinking of. So is acid free the only requirement for paper, boxes, etcetera to not damage prints?
 
As far as I am aware acid free paper and also a dry and cool environment are the key points to note, but I am not an expert the long term storage of photos.
Hope this helps

I've used the library suppliers Gresswell for archive grade materials. Their website isn't easy to find stuff on, but the paper catalogue through the post is free.
