How about vacuum sealing the books, and putting them in a warm water bath for a few hours? jh Send a noteboard - 16/10/2013 07:34:21 PM

I admit, I'd probably test this on some cheap book first

Freezing won't kill them but heat will - 16/10/2013 03:09:33 AM 975 Views
Won't an hour in the oven ruin the book? I'm assuming massive browning of pages, etc... - 16/10/2013 03:16:26 AM 775 Views

Kind of a weird idea - 16/10/2013 11:34:42 PM 799 Views
It may work, but then spores are in your vacuum cleaner. - 17/10/2013 03:34:03 AM 836 Views
Buy a cheap crappy vaccum cleaner from a thrift store? - 17/10/2013 11:40:37 PM 906 Views
Maybe it would be worth contacting a library? - 29/10/2013 04:09:31 PM 839 Views
