Gil.... yes  this    bothered me   to   when I heard of   things  being

There is one  type of  book binding material McGraw hill used on  tech  
books when used  with vinyl book  covers  some of  the collage  book stores 
would sell  set up a nasty  reaction  forever turning the surface if  this  
plastic  impregnated  binging into slime!

engineering sort of fellow to tell us for sure whether we  could confidently do a 
clean/neutralize/wash cycle and be sure we were not  leaving some nasty 
residue behind
