Orange Goop and Books


Orange Goop is a cream-like substance that mechanics use to clean the grime off of their hands. It is sold in the dollar stores around my area. It is great for removing sticky residue off of book covers—you know those sticky price tags that thrift shops, etc. put on books!

Probably any similar product that mechanics use to clean their hands would work just as well. Just, don't buy expensive products for removing stickers from books-- check out your dollar(or less) discount stores.

Another thought: the dollar stores themselves are filled with valuable treasures: just last week I sold a wonderful children's book (brand new) that I bought there for a dollar and sold on eBay for $9.99.  I always check out books at our dollar Store.  They have many new books with dust jacket books (without remainder marks) that make great gifts for holiday giving and great books for selling on eBay.
