To remove regular pencil marks, you want as a minimum a soft eraser,
like the Staedtler 52825 or the Pentel ZER2BP-K6. These are
about 4 inches long and usually bought with a holder. They don't
tear up the paper like those used on most pencils, and last a considerable
bit longer.
It depends on how hard it was written, and on the paper,
but going over it lightly usually greatly reduces the darkness,
or may entirely remove it.
Using chemicals would probably cause as noticable a mark
as the pencil marks make (especially if the pages are yellowed).
I have been looking for a solution to the problem
of removing grease
pencil marks on books. I noticed that some time back, someone posted
this question. I do not know if an answer was ever given. I have the
same question. I have several books that have been priced with a black
grease pencil (on the front cover as well as inside the opening pages).
Does anyone know how this can be removed without causing damage to the
book?
I hate these stupid thrift stores that do that. Retards.
Anyway, I never figured out a good way, short of using lots of eraser
heads. It usually leaves a big blotch, but sometimes I can effectively
erase the grease pencil.
I know of no other way currently.
