Be careful with the mold it looks black . It should be keep away from other books and frooze until you can do a clean up if it is not powerdery . You need a mask also . Sad to lose something that wonderful but paper is known to grow toxic mold when wet to long :-( Hope you can save it . Also try putting out in sun just a few idea's . Love it
