   There's also commercial cleaners Goo-Gone and Goof-Off, available at
K-mart and Wall-Mart, that (like lighter fluid) used book dealers use
to safely remove stickers from books and book covers. Like other such
fluids, test on an inconspicuous area first, and use in a ventilated area
away from open flame - the vapors are harmful when inhaled and flammable.
