ON STUCK BOOK COVERS

Regarding Ray Williams' query about stuck-together book covers,
Carl Honore' writes: "These 'leatherette' book covers are most
likely a polymer material.  Polymers can be lightly bonded by
weak bonds between the polymer molecules.  The best way to
separate the book covers may be to try to break the bonds between
them.  I might suggest perhaps rubbing them with silk to create
a static charge to break the bonds much like rubbing a glass
rod with silk to store electrons at one end.  This might work
if in fact it is this kind of thing holding the covers together."
