Well, here's your solution: these innovative drying books are made by Showgard, a premier creator of innovative philately supplies. You must have a drying book for flat out soaking of stamps from paper.
The Desert Magic Drying System uses a special release paper with heavy blotting pages. The release paper will not permit stamps, even those with problem gums like PVA to adhere to the drying surface. The absence of plastic interleaves shortens the time traditionally needed to dry stamps.
Each book has 7 blotters and 6 release pages. Use them over and over again with wonderful results!

Large - 8-1/2 by 11 inches - $12.50

Old-Time Cigar Labels in Full Color
In the first decades of the 20th century, the labels that graced cigar boxes were often miniature works of art. Admired for their fine detail, superb design and decorative flourishes, the labels encompassed a wide range of artistic vignettes. Among them were lovely ladies adorning boxes of such brands as Brunette, First Blush, Blue Belle, La Coqueta and Madame Butterfly; portraits of Tom Mix, Walt Whitman, Sherlock Holmes and other celebrities; as well as illustrations of cowboys, sailors, gentlemen in evening wear. Bedouins on horseback, dogs, eagles, racehorses and other images.
For this volume, Dover's Carol Belanger Grafton has selected 89 of these rare, full-color designs. Not only are they masterpieces of early commercial art, they also lend themselves to a variety of art and craft applications. Commercial artists and designers will find this collection a superb sourcebook of copyright-free period graphics that can easily be reproduced on a color copier. Collagists, decoupeurs and other craftspeople will want to add this book to their design libraries, while nostalgia enthusiasts will delight in the charms of advertising art from bygone days.
The 24 plates (89 full-color designs) are printed on one side only for convenient use.
