BOWERS ON DAMP BOOK RESTORATION
Dave Bowers writes: "Concerning damp books, etc., you
probably know that freeze drying is very effective and was
used in the 1970s when Hurricane Agnes flooded much
of the Lower Tier area of New York State, including the
book collection of the Corning Glass Co. museum.
However, most dampness has long gone when numismatic
books are encountered today, and we are left with stuck-
together pages with traces of black and green mold."
