care of books
by Prafulla Chandra 24 May '04

24 May '04

Dear All, I am looking for a simple, low cost, eco-friendly method for preservation of personal collection books at home. Mainly, I need to protect them from insects such as termites, cockroaches, silverfish, etc. I shall appreciate any suggestions in this regard. I understand that dry leaves of neem could be spread on the shelves and the books placed on them. I would like to know the effectiveness or otherwise of this method from those who have used this method or have knowledge about it. Many thanks for your help Thank you Sincerely T.V.

Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 12:35:00 +0530 From: manish mankad <Manish.Mankad(a)unilever.com> I presume that your library has a central AC. Commonly the maodour from the AC is due to unclean ducts. The causes can be fungus, dead rodents, birds, rotting insulating materials like foam.. If the AC's outlet ducts are not functioning to its optimum, even then it can lead to malodor as the level of fresh air will be much less due to poor circulation. -Manish Mankad Information Services Ext: 208/460 Tel: 022 28276208 Hindustan Lever research Centre B.D.
