after they got wet?
I was thinking of sacrificing a couple of large books. I thought I'd spray both sides of the jacket with water, and put it in a warm (200 degree) oven for a while.
Slow process, however. And further, I just thought of that when I was posing the question.

Longest Nerve In The Body
Did you know that in the human body there is a nerve that connects the eyeball to the anus?
It's called the Anal Optic Nerve, and it is responsible for giving people a shitty outlook on life.
If you don't believe it, just pull a hair from your ass and see if it doesn't bring a tear to your eyes.

Elderly husband coming up on his 40th wedding anniversary decides to go get his wife some negligee as a present. He goes to the lingerie store to pick something out. The sales ladies keep bringing out more product. Every time he would say 'not sheer enough.' Finally they bring out something pretty much transparent and he buys it.
Later on that evening, he presents the gift to his wife:'Take it upstairs, open it up and try it on' he says. So his wife takes the gift upstairs and unwraps it. 'There's nothing to this thing. I'll trick him by just walking downstairs naked,' she says.
So she starts walking down the stairs and he looks up and says:
'You think what I paid for that thing, they would have ironed it!'

Mike, I have a (true) 78 album of Louie Armstrong with the All Stars that became bowed from moisture. My problem is a little worse because of the thickness with four record sleeves bound into the album.
I wondered about using a steam iron on the "permapress" setting to moisten the paper fibers and then flatten the cover. After that I would place some weighted device on the cover and leave it for a day or more. However I haven't had the nerve to try it yet. This album set has some value and I don't want to damage it any further.
Since your LP jackets are thinner you might find an artist or tee-shirt shop with an embossing press. That would apply heated pressure evenly over the whole surface.
Hopefully someone with hands-on experience can suggest what might help us both.

Speaking as a former hand papermaker, the flatest drying technique I can think of involves putting down a piece of corrugated cardboard, then a sheet of blotter paper, then the wet paper, then another blotter and another sheet of cardboard. The cardboard wales must be oriented the same direction. Build up a stack like that and put a piece of plywood on top with some evenly distributed weights. Put a box fan so it blows into the wales of the cardboard at a low setting. Heavyweight paper would dry overnight like that, this would probably take longer, but even if you forget about it for a few days, it should be fine. Note that you should really pop the seams apart for drying and re-glue when it's done.

I think he charged like $10,000/hr. Phyllis Diller used to be one of his favorite patient, until Joan Rivers came along.
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing well
(Proverb)
A woman goes to a plastic surgeon who has given her several face lifts in the last few years. She asks if there is not some way to make the procedure permanent, instead of having to repeat it every few years. He says there is a new experimental technique in which he installs smalls screws in the back of her neck, which can be adjusted over time to keep the face taut. She says wonderful and has the procedure done.
A year later, she returns to the plastic surgeon. She says. "Doc, these screws you installed are working great; I adjust them every month, and as you can see, my face is taut and smooth. There's only one problem - I've got these two bumps on my forehead." The doctor says, "Lady those aren't bumps, they're your tits. And if you don't stop tightening those screws, pretty soon you're gonna have a beard."

Worrying about looking young enough is really for the young.
I am perfectly satisfied with my looks over 60.
I was hot in my late teens twenties, and still good looking in my thirties.. Iwas suprised i still was not an old hag in my forties. fifities was when I really started sagging. LOL.
So I had fun. Now i am old. i certainly can live with it.
> Now i am old. i certainly can live with it.
I don't think we have any choice. ;-)

Some folks seem to have a serious problem with getting old. Some it may be as performers they think they need to look young.. (Cher) etc.
But plenty of folks spend enormous amounts trying to look young for no good reason other than some wierd vanity.

as both of them did often, is OK in my book. Laughter, like music, is good for the soul.
