We too have used the Delmhorst moisture meter at PTI to measure the
moisture content of books.  We used their Model G-78 moisture meter
and their Type 43-E Clamp electrode. We prefer the 43-E electrode to
the Type 19-E blade type electrode for our use on books and
individual sheets of paper.  We have been satisfied with the data
generated by this unit. You can go direct to the manufacturer at:
