So I was reading The Fourth Turning by William Strausse and Neil Howe, and I made the mistake of leaving it on the pillow next to the baby while she was taking a nap. When she woke up, she grabbed it and started sucking on the corner of it, so now those pages are water damaged. D’oh!
Fortunately, it can be fixed. The folks at the Orem Library can actually fix water damage by individually ironing and pressing, which apparently restores a water damaged book back to its original condition. They only ask that you put the water damaged book in the freezer, since that prevents mold and mildew damage, which they cannot fix.
So that’s what’s happening with that book. But just from reading the first chapter, I know this is one that I want to own, so I’ll be buying a copy soon. I expect that I’ll be underlining and annotating it too, because it’s really good.
