Removing adhesives isn't that hard. Depending on what was used and the material involved, a heat gun or hair dryer works nicely. If you're using regular dymo tape labels, this works great, but only on hard backs. Paperbacks are a bit trickeir because they usually aren't that great of paper quality to begin with, and the nail polish remover would probably be the best option. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn I" <lynnskyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi, Paula and everyone:

I've had the same problem in the past with Braille labels...  I've found
that using a 3X5 index card works well for identifying books. There's room 
enough to Braille author, title and any other information.  I simply place
it in the middle of the book so it won't slip out.  If I don't keep the
book, I can remove the card easily.  Also, I use the same method when I'm
scanning a book to keep my page marked between scanning sessions.

Thanks, Marilyn. As it turned out, my daughter was able to just rub most 
of the adhesive off. I'll have to be more careful about sticking braille
labels on books, unless I'm sure I want to keep the book. G!

Hi, Paula.

The only thing I can think of is nail polish remover on a cotton ball.
