Can this water stain be cleaned?

Hello, would it be possible to remove these stains? Also would this make it a purple label if I did get it cleaned? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I’m new to collecting and have never encountered this before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

It is possible to "clean" stains like that, the procedure involves a wet soak and blot with paper to remove, transferring the stain to the paper you are blotting with. It takes multiple trials and the thing is the process doesn't get all of it out and the staining will still be there but to a lesser degree. I think it isn't worth doing even if your book is a first printing.
