Suggestions of acquiring a Sharpie signature over existing ink/color touch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how is that really “restoration”? It seems as though the PLOD policy is as punitive as anything else. And there are no lack of examples. A low to middle grade book with a veinous network of color-braking fractures, and yet someone saw fit to try their hand at concealing 1/100oth of the fractures with a few swaths of ink. Why bother, right? No improvemnet at all really, and yet will garner a purple label and rightfully so. Effective or ineffective color touch can generate a purple label as it should be..

Only thing I haven't seen is does anyone have any specific thoughts on the book I posted? Would residue from a tape pull pop under blacklight? Yes, as would fingerprint oils and other things. That's what it looks like to me. Some kind of residue or stain. Edit: to clarify I'm referring to the dark smudges in the title block, not the top edge damage.
