In order to determine what you are going to do as your next step you need to determine
how wet your book is. You can see that this book is completely saturated, the cover is
barely coming off of the front page, this is going to be treated with the most delicacy
because you don't want the already soaked pages to be torn or ripped or damaged even
further. So this is our saturated book. You'll then have your partially wet book, you can
see that the cover is wet and the pages are wet but you can also still open up the pages
a little bit. They are not all entirely sticking to one another, although some of them have
gotten wet most of the way though. This one is going to have a different treatment than
our totally saturated book. Lastly we have our just plain wet book, this is a book where
the cover might be soaked but for the most part the pages are fairly dry, you might have
a little bit of wet around the edges, it's almost hardly damaged in getting wet. Now
for all of these steps we are going to start with the saturated book and move our way down
to the least wet book, because for every time you get a book more dry you are going to move
onto the next type of book steps.
