How clean are library books?

Have you ever wondered how clean library books are? A Belgian television program put it to the test.

In Man over Book ten books from the library of Antwerp were examined. The results were remarkable. Two books contain the herpes virus. Traces of coke could be found in all ten books.

There were also plenty of other bacteria in the books, but their concentrations are so low that they will only cause infections in exceptional cases.
