How do I safely remove mold from cloth-covered books?
« on: 06/03/2010 13:55:20 »
Speaking of old books, I have a few moldy cloth-bound books, and I'm looking to rid them of their white mold.  How do I go about it without ruining the cloth, end covers, pages etc?

    Try contacting your local museum to see if they can put you in touch with a conservator.

    ...And its claws are as big as cups, and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps! And Mrs Doyle was telling me it's got magnets on its tail, so if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you! And instead of a mouth it's got four arses!
