I’ve used Goo Gone for years and never had any staining. I gently peel as much of the sticker off as I can (I use an old hotel key card), then spray a little Goo Gone on a cotton cloth (not on the book) and wipe away any sticker residue, then wipe clean with another cloth. Works every time for me!

Does regular Goo Gone work or do you need a specific kind? I have regular Goo Gone. It’s kinda old though and I can’t find an expiration date. I’m not sure if it matters too much. I know there’s a Goo Gone that’s a sticker lifter kind. Would that one be better?

I use regular Goo Gone and it works fine for me. I use the tiniest amount- mine is in a spray bottle and I just use one spray on the cloth. I’ve also heard that you can soften the adhesive on stickers by using a hair dryer to blast warm air on them and that makes removal easier, but I’ve never tried that!

Okay. I’ll have to see what I can do. Thank you for the help. I really appreciate the feedback.
