Hi Comicquant - Thanks for the input. In hindsight i probably should have dry clean/press, but i am getting so many conflicting opinions, I'm not sure which way to go. I see e-bay sells a do it yourself pressing machine for around $250.00 which is tempting. Figured if i went this route, i would practice on numerous dollar books first. I would be a bit nervous doing this with expensive books of course. If it is done professionally, and there is any damage in their possession, do you have any recourse? Thanks again.
