Greetings Paulus65: I have not found a reference to an electronic or ultrasonic book cleaner but you may be interested in reading a question I answered for another customer with the same general query. The question is titled "Dusty vintage books" and may be seen at http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=245120 Rare books are best cleaned carefully by hand as many may be damaged if subjected to more rigorous methods. Another reference not included in my previous answer (but in line with the same advice) is located at http://amol.org.au/recollections/1/2/18.htm and reads in part: "Books are not always easy to clean. In some cases it is not wise to try to clean them thoroughly, especially if they are in fragile condition. If this is the case, you must approach cleaning with care...When cleaning a book, place it on a desk on a clean sheet of paper. By moving the paper around, you can reach all sides of the book easily. This method is easier and safer then trying to hold the book at the same time as you are holding the cleaning tools." That link also shows two cleaning images and may be of assistance to you.
