Hi Malvary,
Beloved was an archivist for many years, and said most of the advice given is sound. Fresh air is the best. Keep the book open and flip the pages every few days. Make sure it's in a place that has low humidity. He liked the idea of the fan close by to keep the air moving. Another way is to put it in a closed container with a dish of baking soda or activated charcoal. Change the baking soda or activated charcoal regularly. Again, page flipping is recommended. I would be careful with herbs.lavender flowers can be slightly oily. Test the herbs by laying them on a piece of paper first. All of these take time and patience. Good luck!
