[Sca-cooks] Book Questions...

[Huette von Ahrens]

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.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for 
they shall never cease to be amused.
