Misc.

Hi guys and gals!!
Does anyone know how to remove that yucky musty smell books develop when they are stored away for a long, long, time?? Would love to hear if someone knows the "cure"...I have tons of old books that were packed away for years in storage and would love to freshen them up if I can... :-)
