UNSEEN SHADOWS - Jim Steranko (Supergraphics, 1978) This scarce book details Steranko's multi-year odyssey to illustrate the 27 different painted covers that he created for the Shadow paperback series between 1975 and 1978. Completely written, designed, illustrated and published by Steranko in 1978. This is a seldom seen gem. Unseen Shadows contains 50 pages of pencilled prelims for each cover, some paintings have multiple prelims. Not reprinted in any other volume! A beautiful book for a fan of Steranko's amazing Shadow paintings. Full color covers with b&w interiors. Includes text by Jim about the Shadow paperback paintings... didn't include photos of the text pages here. Cardstock cover with tanning on inside of rear cover (typical of this book due to paper quality). Pages are in excellent condition and are not tanned at all. Only the slightest edge wear and very slight crease at bottom front cover corner. Like many of the copies of this book that were released, this is a single-staple copy. Cover colors are beautiful. VFNM condition. Killer book! $95 REDUCED to $88 postpaid to U.S. address

I had a smelly book from the mid-1880s that I needed to deal with. I bought the Bad Air Sponge (available on Amazon) and a MOSO Natural Purifying Bag (bamboo charcoal, I believe) and put them in a sealed box with the book for a few weeks. I rotated and flipped the book a couple times during that period. The result was a book that had no smoke smell at all, only the very faintest fresh smell of the Bad Air Sponge. Consider giving this a try... you could do it with an inexpensive item first as a test.
