    Get some newsprint paper (not newspaper!). Put a sheet between each cheque. Press down with something heavy (maybe a dictionary). This is will blot a lot of the exess water out it. If it's really wet, repeat. Then hang it up on a clothes line or something to air dry.

    Use plain newsprint and not newspaper because the ink on the newspaper will transfer. You can use paper towels to blot, but they are pretty thick and wil distort your cheques.

    When you chequebook is dry, put something heavy (like a dictionary) on top of it overnight to flatten it out (the air drying will wrinkle the paper slightly).

    i attempted this with my cellular telephone after a rapid dunk underwater on the pool: turn the show area face down on a floor, plug into charger for form of three days. The ipod might get warm which will help dry up any droplets interior.

    something you could do is watch the part of the incredibles when he soaked the books take a blow dryer and set it down and move the pages and dry them but try not to rip the pages.

    hair dryer, it makes your checks a little crinkley but better than nothing! another tip; lightly wetting a dollar bill and putting it under a hair dryer smooths them out. Who knew?
