The stickers are oil-soluble. As long as the cover is coated (i.e. glossy), liquid oil will break down the adhesive without damaging the paper. If the cover is uncoated, like the old Black Sparrow Press books....., you'll just have to learn to love the price tags.

Pearly Mae? A great singer and sweet person. She always lit up the screen! The book's about chewing up American society and spitting out the bad parts. Sentimental and dated but not completely irrelevant. youtu.be/ioJReMMzNG8

I was in Darchen back in 2015. I was told that dogs had taken the place of vultures due to a fertilizer used in India that was eaten by cattle and subsequently poisoned the birds. As a result, dogs in the region had developed a taste for human flesh. I walked with trepidation to the loo at night!
