The major flooding a few days ago must have been worse than I thought. On Friday I found out a whole bottom shelf of books and papers I didn't know were still damp. Some are worse than others. All of them got at least a little wet; some have pages stuck together; some have mold. My Yale Banner is semi-OK, but a lot of pages are stuck together. My Annotated Alice is in bad shape: the bottom is totally green.
It must have happened either overnight or when I was at work. The water was gone by the time I got there, but there must have been at least an inch of water there to reach the books. Argh, this place.
I took them all out, opened them, took the dust covers off the hardbacks, and I left the lights and air conditioning on since Friday night. Is there anything else I can do with water-damaged books?
