First, air out the book by turning on the fan a few times, then expose the book to the sun for a while. Second, if they still smell, sprinkle baking soda on the pages and let it stay on them for a few days. Third, if you still smell mold on them, put the books in a zippered but unclosed plastic bag and place in the freezer to kill the mildew. Repeat with the remaining books.
