BOWERS ON DAMP BOOK RESTORATION 

   Dave Bowers writes: "Concerning damp books, etc., you 
   probably know that freeze drying is very effective and was 
   used in the 1970s when Hurricane Agnes flooded much 
   of the Lower Tier area of New York State, including the 
   book collection of the Corning Glass Co. museum. 
   However, most dampness has long gone when numismatic 
   books are encountered today, and we are left with stuck- 
   together pages with traces of black and green mold."
