Cleaning tops of books

I posted earlier about how to inventory a book collection I inherited.
I took all your wonderful advice and ended up buying Readerware to get
me started.

I now have another question. The place where the books had originally
been stored was a basement workshop where woodworking was done. There
is a layer of sawdust on the tops of all the books. Other than blowing
this off, is there anything else I should do to clean them?

Thanks again,

JAH

Vacuum them clean. The ordinary long-bristle
round brush in my central vac inventory seems
perfect for this task. You need to suck, not blow.
