You’ve just dropped your favorite, out-of-print book into a bathtub, ruining it completely … What do you do now?
Grab it out of the water. 😛
Yell for help(more hands help with this) and get some paper towels, a hairdryer, and sympathetic shoulder. I’d spot dry what I could and use the hairdryer where possible. Then I’d sandwich it between two thicker books with a silk cloth–something that wouldn’t stick to the pages) and let it air dry.
Though, technically, I’d never take a book I love anywhere near the bathroom. ^_^
