Actually in the real world, it is *not* recommended to wear gloves to handle old delicate manuscripts, because one cannot feel as well with gloves and could damage the books. Clean dry hands are preferred. See e.g. http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2011/08/white-gloves-or-not-white-gloves.html.
