My 1998 Wizard magazine collection got soaked in a basement flood

Happened during that big storm in Cincinnati last month. Anybody know a good way to dry out old newsprint without it turning to mush?

Why even bother trying to save them? Those old magazines are basically ruined pulp now. Newsprint turns into a soggy mess when it gets that wet. All that effort for some dried out, crinkly pages that will just fall apart. Maybe it's better to just let them go and move on.

Actually had luck freezing wet pages flat first, @ninaowens.

Is it really that big a deal if they get a little crinkly?
