Drying a wet book is not as simple as we might think!  At the ANCHASL meeting last Friday, Walter Cybulski showed a fascinating presentation on how to deal with water-damaged materials.  Many of the procedures he outlined are contained in this page from Washington University in St. Louis, which gives detailed directions and contains some very helpful pictures of how to interleave paper towels in a wet book properly and how not to do it.
