On to stage two...
I've now vacuumed out most of the water from the basement, and have three dehumidifiers running flat out, so normality may return sometime soon.
So far I've only found two books that are total losses, and both of them actually fell in the water when other boxes collapsed. I've dismantled a couple of boxes that had started to fall apart, and the books in them were OK. Which is just as well, considering one of them had my 1922 and 1938 (reprint) Bradshaws, and the 19-volume RCTS History of LNER Locomotives, none of which would be easy to replace over here...
