Zip-lock bags are good for avoiding that problem.
I put books in zip-lock bags to protect them from
external liquids. If I am worried much about a particular 
book, I'll put it in a zip-lock bag, wrap that with clothes, 
then put that in a large zip-lock bag, then put that in 
center of luggage, shimmed with more clothing.

Zip-lock bags work the other direction also.
Standard practice for me has been to put vessels of liquids 
inside zip-lock bags (after squeezing air out of vessel), 
so that leaks don't mess up other luggage. 

Pack extra zip-lock bags.
They are light and take negligible space.
