<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 3175078, member: 8267"]Our go-to eraser is the Staedtler Mars Plastic eraser - most effective with least abrasion. If the mark is on a corner of the page (as it usually is) you should make light strokes toward the edges, not back and forth, which can sometimes cause a wrinkle/tear in the paper if you are not careful. Even then, if the paper is fragile, you might pull off a bit of the corner. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If we intend to resell a book, we will usually attempt to remove previous prices (unless they are originally printed on the dust jacket or cover). Otherwise you get annoying customers who want to know why your price is $20 when the other price says $1.50.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
