Middle-Eastern influenced flamenco?  The flamenco
is a modern decendent of the Renaissance dance
called the Canario.  I know of no Middle-Eastern
dances that are stamping related.  Perhaps you
could tell me where you found this information?

As a beginning Spanish teacher, I had the priviledge of watching the 
Renaldo Rincon dance company perform.  They did several versions of the 
Jota...noting that its roots are in the northern regions of Spain 
(heavily influenced by the celts and the celtiberos [there may be 
another word for this in English, but it's stuck in my head in Spanish 
at the moment])

  The also performed several Flamenco pieces.  As the school was in the 
immigrant magnate city for the state, I had a particular student in my 
class who was of Kurdish, Turkish, and Iraqi descent.  As we discussed 
the dance presentation in class, she got very excited, yet quiet.  
After class, she came up to talk to me, knowing that I was a beginning 
student of Middle Eastern dance at the time... though the "stamp" if 
not found in often in Middle Eastern (though it is found in some Gypsy 
or Romani dance), some of the hip motions are very similar (for 
instance what is called in modern Middle Eastern the Maya{aka make the 
Mc Donald's sign with your hips} )  Also...the castanets are very 
similar to zils or finger symbols.  {side note, there are some Stamp 
-like moves found in Turkish dance...though not used in the purcussive 
style found in flamenco}

It's not information that I have written anywhere specific...perhaps 
somethign that I should look into more indepthly...

The expensive way is to rent an Ozone machine, put it in a room with 
the
books, turn it on, close the door, and leave it alone for 3 to 7 days.

Having an Ozone Purifier in the house works on allergies and smells,
generally.

OTOH, you take them out in the fresh air. Fan the leaves, and most of 
the
smell will go bye bye.

If you're going to try something like baking soda, cornstarch, or 
activated
charcoal, put the stuff in a stocking first, so that it doesn't get all 
over
the  place, and lock it in an air-tight container  with the book for 3 
to 7
days. Much less work cleaning up afterward.

I am unclear as to what kind of binding you want to clean, so am just
covering what to do about pages. Old leather bindings clean up very 
nicely with
a
little lanolin on a rag. What you do to cloth, paper, or other bindings 
varies
by type.

As I librarian, I would not recommend spraying
liquid of any sort on the pages of the books
unless you want them to warp and become
ruined.  Baking soda is fine.  I have also
heard of placing fabric softener sheets between
the pages, although I have never tried this.

You have never smelled horrible smells unless
you have recieved a book from India what has
sat for a long time in the cargo hold of a
merchant freighter and also been fumigated
with insecticides.  In the library were I
worked, opening packages from India was
considered hazardous duty.

they shall never cease to be amused.
