I found my 40k mini rulebook under a bunch of stuff, but it was all bent up and misshapen. Not ripped, just bent.

How would I go about fixing this? I usually just sandwich it between two heavy dictionaries and put it under the leg of my bed, but this is an important book, so I want good results

Any tips?

Do that. Straighten it all out, then leave something heavy over it and it'll go back to normal after a while.

I'll try putting it under the refridgerator

I heard there's a way to do it that involves an iron or something. Like, you put a shirt over the book and then use the iron with no water or something like that.

Maybe I haven't really had many books get bent out of shape like that. But then again if I end up finding my 40k mini rulebook I might have to do the same, it has been missing for several months >_>

Make sure none of the pages inside are bent out of shape when you do it, otherwise when you try and read it they'll still be bent outta shape.
Otherwise just crush it back flat.

I got it flat after putting it under the leg of the couch for an entire day. Looks fine now. I'll manage
