Preservation - Drying a wet book
Preservation - Drying a wet book
Valuable advice from the State Library of New South Wales, Australia, for dealing with books that are in various states of wetness, from still in mud and water to mere exterior dampness. Biggest surprise: "Freezing can be used as a method of holding wet material in a stabilised state until it can be treated." Gentle ventilation is important for carrying away damp air.
