This is reply to the debate in Conservation Distlist # 7:45 between Dr.
Karen Motylewski and Dr. Mary-Lou Florian. I studied biological
deterioration of books and manuscripts for many years and I suggest
several papers on the subject:

    Nyuksha, Yu. P., "Biological principles of book keeping conditions,"
        Restaurator, Vol 3, no. 3 (1979):101-108.
        Article on: Biological problems, Books, Storage conditions

    Nyuksha, Yu. P. "Biodeterioration and biostability of library
        materials," Restaurator, Vol.4 no. 1 (1980):71-77.
        Article on: Biodamage, Biostability, Libraries

    Nyuksha, Yu. P, Karpenko L. A. "Investigation of fermentative
        cleaning processes in book restoration," Restaurator, Vol.7 no.
        1 (1986):22-35.
        Article on: Fermentative cleaning, Books, Restauration

    Nyuksha, Yu. P. "Some special cases of biological deterioration of
        books," Restaurator, Vol.5 no. 3/4 (1983):177-182.
        Article on: Biodamage, Books

    **** Moderator's comments:   For those that missed Karen
    Motylewski's message, this wasn't really a 'debate', but a summary
    of information derived from Dr. Florian's ICOM paper and seminar at
    the Campbell Center. Mary-Lou Florian isn't on the DistList.
