Former library book. I was able to remove some but not all of the stickers - please see the photos. The area where the spine sticker had been, I could not remove all of the tack. I covered that area with transparent packing tape. This tape is visible on the front cover by some capture air bubbles. On the spine, the tape is slightly more glossy than the cover, but it is not likely to be noticed without close inspection. The binding is strong, and the pages are clean.
