But how about a vacuum cleaner? One place I checked mentioned gently vacuuming the pages using the brush attachment or the hose attachment with cheesecloth tied over it to dampen the suction. Of course, if your books are really old and fragile, this is probably too risky, but if not, it sounds like a handy way to remove spores.

I am freezing them, but they say that doesn't get rid of the spores.

Won't an hour in the oven ruin the book? I'm assuming massive browning of pages, etc...

How about vacuum sealing the books, and putting them in a warm water bath for a few hours?
