" I just received a book that I bought on eBay. It smells. Is there anything I can do to get the odor out? -- Angie Havlovitz, Dublin, OH If there&amp;#039;s mildew in the book, you&amp;#039;ll first need to gently vacuum each page, using the brush attachment. And if the pages are damp, dry them thoroughly, even outdoors, if possible, but not in direct sunlight. Then, to absorb odors, sprinkle each page with baking soda or cornstarch, and place the book in a plastic bag for a week or two. When you remove it, turn it upside down and ruffle the pages to shake out the excess powder. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
