UPDATE ON THE BOOK:
I tried using a hairdryer on the individual pages, but after a while I think the heat was actually doing more harm than good; then I had a good idea (but not as good as your idea to put paper in between the individual pages - that was excellent): I propped up the book over an AC vent, turned the house down to 64 or so, and that AC kept the cool air blowing up through the book, and really helped to dry it out. The binding is shot, but the pages themselves are drying out nicely over that vent!
