Subject: Grease stain on paper
I have been contacted by a customer who has recently (within the last week) stained a book with a ginger snap cookie. She laid the cookie down on a page of a facsimile copy of the first King James Bible when she went to answer the door. When the customer noticed the stain, she blotted it with paper towel. I have not seen the book but as described, it is 10-15 years old commercially printed. I am looking for information on removing the grease stain, which I would assume was butter or cooking oil. I have considered cleaning with a Groom Stick or Absorene but I don't have much experience with stains like this. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks in advance, Artemis BonaDea North Bound Books *** Conservation DistList Instance 10:75 Distributed: Wednesday, February 26, 1997 Message Id: cdl-10-75-027 ***Received on Tuesday, 25 February, 1997
