THE DEPULVERA BOOK CLEANING MACHINE

For the bibliophiles among us, Anne E. Bentley, Curator of Art & Artifacts at the Massachusetts Historical Society forwarded this video from the Boston Public Library. And no, they don't use this on rare books. This is cool - check it out. -Editor

carwash for books

A behind-the-scenes look at how we remove dust from our #books. It's like a mini car wash for books, minus the water! #libraries #booklovers

Anne adds:

The machine was built by the DePulvera Company in Italy. Check out the comments - people want one for their homes. -Editor
