Summarize the following:
Stand the book upright on a table. Fan out the pages gently. If your fingers can't disentangle pages without ripping them, use a letter opener and tweezers to separate pages. Alternatively, blow toward the top of your book to fan the pages out. If you would like to speed up the process, you can aim a hairdryer at the pages of your book. Keep it on a warm setting to avoid books becoming affected by heat damage. Continue aiming the hairdryer at your upright book until the pages are dry. Either choose a warm spot inside your home or place the book in the sun. Only place the book in direct sunlight if your book isn't valuable. Direct sunlight may fade the book and, especially for older books, this could lead to permanent disintegration, discoloration, and the curling up of the pages. Ensure that every page is dry before returning the book to its shelf.
Fan out the pages of your book. Use a hairdryer to dry pages. Let books stand to dry in a spot free of moisture.
