How to Salvage Water Damaged Books
by Lori Dorn from Laughing Squid on (#3V6T6)
The Syracuse University Library's Department of Preservation and Conservation (SULPreservation) offers a simple, silent tutorial showing how to salvage books that have been damaged by water or other soft liquids. It all comes down to the clever use of paper towels, a fan and a book press of some sort. This video is part of a larger educational series about book repair.
