Do you repair books?

Is there any way to eliminate the ‘musty’ smell from books?

Though miracle products are sold online, I have not come across anything I trust or would say is a go to solution for this common problem.  Watch all the videos online you want, I have seen none that I believe work every time.  Some also cause irreparable damage.  The best solution is to avoid buying such books and avoid putting your collection in a situation where they are exposed to such conditions.

Where do you get the covers for your books?
