It could be your official "book cleaning" vacuum, in case you end up purchasing/receiving more old books with mildew smell in the future. Could keep it outside in the garage or a shed when not in use.
Kind of a pain in the neck though, so I suppose whether it would be worthwhile would depend on how much use you'd get out of it. Best of luck in any case.

If a new copy were available I already would have bought it. *NM*

Could you keep them in a cupboard?

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

Freezing won't kill them but heat will

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?

It may work, but then spores are in your vacuum cleaner.
