anyone have any tips for removing library stickers from books? it's a paperback book with a glossy cover if that affects anything, and i'm only looking to remove the stickers on the outside; there's an RFID anti-theft sticker on the inner cover covering a bit of the artwork but I don't think we could remove that without damaging the book

(and yes, this is a legally purchased book that's only a *former* library book, if you were worried. I just want it to look nice. Libraries have enough money trouble without people stealing from them, don't steal from libraries)

Specifically, since I feel like talking about it, the book in question is the seventh volume of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, a manga by Hayao Miyazaki (which was later turned into an animated movie by him after he founded Studio Ghibli)

we watched the movie a few months ago and really liked it. it's the first time we've ever watched a movie and *then* decided to get the books it's based on actually
