From DAVID TONG
The annual sale at York University of redundant textbooks from the National
Science Library is a real treat and can usually be relied upon to unearth
all kinds of ‘treasure’. Last year was no exception – except only for the
fact that most of the books stank of mould, presumably due to damp storage
conditions prior to the event.
Despite a year in a warm dry room my ‘finds’ still pong badly enough to make
them tolerable only in small doses. Can anyone recommend a practical
deodorising process to make them suitable for polite society?
