fine.books - you may recall my asking for advice on how to remove bumps/waves from the pages of 'Dance till the Stars Come down'. I did as you suggested with the microwave and hot water and much to my surprise it nearly did the trick. Most of the pages look just fine but there are some that still have a slight wave across the top. I did leave it for over 2 weeks under a hugh pile of heavy books but am rather apprehensive of trying the microwave again. How does one describe such a flaw? To say that the pages have a slight wave across the top sound rather odd, at least to me.
