I did that once, but I dont think just placing them in the freezer is enough

I am currently trying to figure out how to clean/salvage books that were
exposed to the water, and since the texts are irreplaceable, I'm hesitant
in what I try. Many books have a very fine powder-like mold on their
covers, while the pages are ok. Some books have small amounts of mold
growing on the edges of the pages.
Get the books into a freezer!
They will freeze dry and the cold will slow/stop the mold growth.
