Leather Book

Leather Book
How can you safely remove labels from an older Book with valuable leather binding?

Maybe I'm just really paranoid/anal but seeing the words valuable and leather would make me question using rubbing alcohol or WD40, lol. Books are pretty fragile. :)

Is it a price tag? I would try a plastic scraper to gently get underneath and maybe rub it with a damp cloth. For leather furniture or bags, I always apply a conditioner after treating a stain, so the same might apply here.

I would call a book dealer in your area for an educated opinion (or maybe one will come along here?) If the book or binding really is of any value, I would find the most gentle method so you don't discolor or dry it out.

The twisted cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" is a statement of intent, while the cool jazz riffs from the band's trumpet player are part of what makes tracks like "Daria," "It's Coming Down," and "Frank Sinatra" so original. "The Distance" is a funked-up jam with a Chili Peppers chorus. --Jeff Bateman ...
