Cleaning up classic books

 First, you should appeal to these thrift shops to use a pencil. Some
 thrift shops I haunt will pencil in the price on the inside cover,
 then to thwart repricers, pencil it in again on a different page.
 I've never had any luck removing grease pencil and have ended up
 smearing it. I suggest you look up the Library of Congress on the web
 and email them for advice if they have nothing listed for book
 preservation.

 Many of the old computer books I get from thrift stores have the price of
 the book written in grease pencil on the inside cover of the book. I'd
 like to remove this safely. Can someone point me to the right place to
 find this sort of information? Thanks.
