Pascals Wager?

Someone left a Christian comic book on my desk this morning. I was just reaching for a pen to start putting provoking thoughts and comments in the margins when I accidentally caught my hot-water mug and emptied it's content over my desk. A sign from God? Or a co-incidence brought about by fatigue, the advent of daylight saving time, a cat sleeping on my head, and generally gamminess? Just in case I think I'll become a born-again Christian. As soon as I've dealt with the mess. At least it's forced the long intended desk clean.

Some of the damaged was absorbed by beer coasters (three of them - you never know how many you might need on your desk) and a foam mouse mat but I do have some books that are in need drying out now. The divine power of the internet provides the following advice on saving wet books.

There's a handy quick summary here, a guide to the relative merits of different techniques here [PDF], some professional advice on the freezing technique here, the Library of Congress procedure here, a shortened summary of the LoC procedure here, and finally some advice on storage if you can't get to work on it immediately.
