mantis,
I would highly recommend that you be careful with these magazines if there is any mold or mildew present. They do not have to have been wet to have mold spores present. I would recommend that you handle them with disposable gloves until you make sure that there is no mold spores present. Just a precaution for your health. Our campus library just went through this a couple years ago and they had to have an outside contractor come in to clean all the books that were affected. They used a germicidal/mold cleaner and wiped down each book. I only tell you this out of concern for your health.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
