Welcome to IWETHEY!

New If you have lots of time (or cheap labour?) on your hands...
...then iron them. Or perhaps best, if they're more than just the tiniest bit wet, do as Ross says and sun-dry them, and *then, just before* they're completely dry, iron them.

Paper irons pretty well, especially if it's just a little bit moist before you start. Not on the hottest temp a normal iron is capable of, but not on the lowest either, IIRC; somewhere a little bit above the middle of the range, I think.

Yes, if they're anything thicker than Aidan's six- or eight-page "My First Book"(*), that's a pretty Sisyphean job... So maybe you could figure out some appropriate (and in an ideal world, even paedagogic) bribe to get Duncan to do it?

HTH!




(*): Or whatever it's called -- and besides, that would be a different kind of problem altogether anyway, since those usually have thick cardboard pages, which would tend to warp and buckle much worse than paper, and probably even split up into separate layers.

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
New 600+ page paperbacks... :-P
I was considering freezing them like the article AnotherScott linked mentioned, but after I examined them I gave up. The water that soaked the books was pretty skanky, and even if they dry out they're going to smell.

New I dropped "The Reality Dysfunction" in the sea once...
Damn thing swelled up to twice its previous size. But it was still readable, though (and it didn't stink -- it was just salt water; or perhaps "brackish" is a better word; the Bay of Finland isn't very saline). I'm sure I *would* have gotten it back to near original size if I had ironed it, but of course I couldn't be arsed to.

New That's the thing though...
I would hope the Bay of Finland is cleaner than my basement. I need to do some serious cleaning this weekend. We keep the cat litter down there... :-P

And for $6, I think I'd rather run to Borders to get a new copy than stand there and iron all the pages...
