How do you dry out a wet paperback book?

ive never had much luck with this. most paper backs are made of cheaper paper and when the pages get wet the binders in the paper ten to disolve a bit and adhere the pages together on drying. hard covers are usually easier to dry. you best chance is to the stand the book on end over a room temp source of moving air (fan, floor vent, etc) and hope for the best.
