Well because we flooded we had dehumidifiers all over our house to remove moisture so I set it out in our house near one to dry out. Once it was dry I compressed it under something heavy to help it lie flat. It’s a linen bound hardback? Maybe not linen exactly but some sort of fabric hard cover?
We took it as a sign, because we were obviously devastated that we lost everything, so for that to be laying there clean and it such good condition was crazy.

My house flooded in a landmark storm. After being forced to evacuate we came back to our house a few days later and sitting outside our front door was a book titled “Anything Can Happen” it’s a vintage 1940’s copy. I’ve never even heard of this book. So I dried it out, and framed it and it’s the first piece of artwork you see when you walk into my house now.

Oh what a bummer. I think the dehumidifier made a big difference. Thanks!
