This is a closer view of the mold growth in the previous image. The dark area has dimension to it, and a slightly green fuzz is growing in the center of the blob. Unfortunately this mold was eating into the structure of the book so it was impossible to scrape it off and clean. The book had to be discarded.
Books Gone Bad - Mold in Library Collections was a project sponsored by Maine College of Art, in partnership with the Joanne Waxman Library. Funding for this project came from the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation. The Project Lead and Artist for this project was Diane J. Wren. All contents Copyright © 2011 by Diane J. Wren.
