     Don't use a hairdryer or put them under the sun, extreme heat makes pages’ warp, wrinkle, and puff up.
The real hero for wet paper is your freezer. Freezing converts water molecules into ice crystals between pages, preventing paper distortion and slowing down glue damage.
4 steps to rescue your wet books: Blot, Wrap, Freeze, Press
     • Blot: Use a clean cloth or thick paper towel to absorb as much excess water as possible.

     • Wrap: Place the book inside a plastic bag or Ziploc bag (leave it slightly open).

     • Freeze: Put the book in the freezer for 1–2 days until it gradually dries out.

     • Press: Take it out of the freezer, air-dry with cool wind, flatten under heavy objects for 1–2 days.

No matter how heavy the rain falls, our books will survive!!!!!!
