To the List: Does anyone have experience with removing the smell of cigarette smoke from books? The books have come from a home of heavy smokers and the odor is over powering. I suspect that the books can be placed in a plastic tub along with charcoal and the odors will be drawn away. I am helping a small, local public library with the books they lend out- so these are not artifacts in a museum - but I image others have run into this sort of issue. Thank you. _____________________ Mike Breza Assistant Director Oshkosh Public Museum ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
