What I've done is air them in a cool, dry place. You just keep fanning through the pages. It may take a long time, depending on how musty it is. Some people have recommended baking soda (that is always so popular) or even spraying some deodorant as you fan the pages. To me, adding deodorant might make the smell worse. I don't know, though if baking soda works, you could always use baby powder.
Perhaps, you should reserve those books for "bathroom reading".
