Hello,
Someone over at the vintage computing mailing list had contacted the
rare books library at the University of Illinois about
cleaning/restoring/preserving some moldy or dirty computer books.

They responded back with a number of helpful links, and I thought this
would be helpful to other (like myself) who focus on pre-cd/dvd era
games and materials.  Likewise for those who archive industry
documents as well (lord knows when it's been sitting in some
ex-employee's basement or storage, that they're not always in the best
of shape).
