I've actually had a Toon book do this to me on something like page 18.  What
a store owner suggested was something he saw sme people with a Shadowrun
book do.  He said to turn the oven on as low as it'll go.  Then stick the
book in there for a little while, perhaps with something heavy and flat on
it (like a dictionary) and that it worked for the Shadowrun people.  I
haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like it would work.
