Re: sticky stuff on book



I managed to get it clean using a Document Cleaning Pad I had bought from
Gaylord. The particles in it are just like little erasers and just seemed to
absorb the gunk. I had only ever used to clean off dirt before. Whatever the
sticky stuff was permanently damaged the book, but at least it's clean. :)
