Many thanks to the Sherman Fairfield Book Conservation Center of the Thomas J. Watson Library, at the Met for sharing this excellent video. I'm working at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library and we're in the process of updating our guidelines for handling rare book. Your idea of providing water-based, non-alcoholic wipes makes a lot of sense. Which brand of wipes do you use? Leah Cohen
