The fine white powder in book pages is mildew, not mold. Mildew may not cause the books to smell musty. It can be cleaned off and be safe for usage by cleaning the mildew pages with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of denatured alcohol to a soft cloth and carefully treat the affected pages.

The fine white powder on book pages is likely paper dust or debris from aging paper. It's not typically mold if there is no musty smell. You can gently clean it off with a soft brush or cloth. Once cleaned, the book should be safe for use as long as there are no signs of mold growth or water damage.

How do you remove musty or moldy smells from books?
Although some say that you can't, and that once the smell is there, it stays forever, there are many things that you can do to improve the smell of books. Definitely not all odors are permanent. It helps if it is summer and of course how musty the smell is - but try placing the book with pages open in direct sunlight, but only for 1 or 2 minutes per open page, keep swapping pages. It takes a while, but often helps. If you cut a used tumble dryer freshener sheet in half and insert one or two pieces in the pages of the book and leave aside for a week it should help See the related link for some more ideas.
