    Shit one of my biggest pet peeves is when they do that with a massive sticker on books, especially the spine.

      I often get flower bouquets that have this garbage on them. Why fucking put the price right on something intended to be a gift when you use shitty paper stickers like this? Makes zero sense.

      stamp collectors used carbon tetrachloride vapours to remove glue from stamps. unfortunately it’s also pretty good at removing liver, and it’s pretty much impossible to get even for some labs anyway. modern alternative is (liquid) hexane or petroleum ether (room temperature)
