QUERY: HOW TO DEAL WITH STICKY BOOK COVERS

Ray Williams writes: "I have a situation where there are a number
of hardbound catalogs on my bookshelf, and after a while, the covers
stick to each other.  Specifically, they are the hardbound catalogs
published by the Colonial Coin Collectors Club for their annual
auction.  Sometimes they are so stuck that I'm afraid I might damage
them by pulling apart.  The covers are a type of simulated leather
(leatherette?).  Are there any recommendations of what I can do to
prevent the sticking?  I was toying with the idea of wiping the
covers with baby powder, but thought I'd inquire here first.  I guess
if all else fails, I could make jackets for them, but then they don't
look as nice on my bookshelf..."

[This is indeed a sticky situation, one that many bibliophiles
had found themselves in at one time or another.  Suggestions,
anyone?  -Editor]
