any ideas on how to make a musty book smell better

due to all they hype about breeding and the kc lately I decided to buy up a few older rottie books that I didnt currently have. One has arrived today,,, As its quite an old book it smells a bit damp and musty I hate that smell, can anyone give me any ideas on how to make it smell better without damaging the book

What about using some pressed flowers?

No idea if that will actually work, just the first thing that came to mind

burn it lol x

Or pot pourri? (sp)

lol @ burn it!

Get someone else to spend a few hours flicking through it outside in the fresh air (assuming we have a dry day at some point!). or if you can't find someone else, you'll have to do it with a peg on your nose.

geez what you lot like

De-Stinkify Your Book
Despite your best efforts, your book smells musty or mildewed, or just old. There's an easy solution... You will need two plastic containers--one that will fit inside the other one. Pour some kitty litter in the bottom of the larger container. Place your book into the smaller container (without the lid), then put the small plastic container into the larger container. Place the lid on the larger plastic container. You can leave the book in this book de-stinkifier for a month--to remove the odor (and any moisture) from the book.

Or like someone said get Dougie to read it outside!!!!

problem is I do most of the breed research, dougie suffers from the same conditon that vinnie has,,,,,hes unable to retain information

ps my tooths bloody sore today

you could get a little bit of lavender and stick in inbetween some of the pages.

I have read about putting the book in a bag with a hand full of kitty litter for a few days ...
