"Using these 100% horsehair brushes makes the dreary task of dusting and cleaning stacks of books a breeze".
Rachel @ www.oldsaratogabooks.com

"These are wonderful, esp. the little round one that gets into the curve of the spine. Thanks!" -
Lindig Harris @ Lin Dig Books, Asheville, NC.

"Bought those lovely brushes from godsey a couple of weeks ago...not sure
why, they looked yummy. They ARE yummy. . . . hauled home about 45 cartons of books -- hadn't been dusted when on the shelves, had been stored here and there, then in a storage unit, then a garage...DUST!! Spent the whole day in the front yard dusting....tops, "rough-cut" edges, leather embossed bindings - you'd be amazed how much dust is in even clean-looking cloth. Life-savers, those brushed. Big one for surfaces, little one gets close to spine etc. THANKS GODSEY!!!"
Lee Kirk @ The Prints & The Paper

Ground Gum Eraser

grund
Fine Grinds tombow
Our white gum erasers finely or coarsely ground, are the perfect tool for cleaning sensitive surfaces.  The gum eraser works as well or better than the white plastic counterpart.  The fine grind works well on smooth paper and vellum surfaces, the coarse grind on book cloth and rough paper surfaces.
to use: Sprinkle grains over surface to be cleaned.
Roll grains lightly over the surface, applying pressure where necessary, when finished blow or brush grains into a receptacle.  Repeat if necessary. just like the document cleaning pads which basically contain the same thing.
