Once you have your book all set up, you might be thinking well this is, you know great in absorbing the water but there is not a whole lot of airflow in my home that is going to get some of that water evaporating, that is where you need an air purifier or a fan. Personally I prefer an air purifier because the airflow is not as strong as with the fan but an oscillating fan is great as long as you set it back far enough from the book that it is not going to be causing things to move around with the airflow. If you have a very humid environment, if you're in the deep south, particularly if you are in New Orleans then you probably also want to have a dehumidifier, this can also have some airflow but probably not enough to blow dry your book so with the air filter you can have it directly or to the side of your book. And you just want to have it gently blowing on it. The air purifier is great if you are also worried about mold growth because it is going to suck any of the spores out of air and keep them from staying on your book or in your home. So with the air filter going you are going to let you book sit for at least half an hour before going onto the next step.
