I was taking of the price tags from books which I purchased from both Kinokuniya and Borders.
The one from Kinokuniya gave me such a hard time, breaking up into multiple pieces, with the price tag sticker sticking on to the book at multiple places. It was a total nightmare “cleaning” off the price tag!
The one from Borders was a breeze. I simply scratched off a corner and pulled. the price tag came off totally clean.
As you can see from the photo above, the condition of the Kinokuniya price tag truly depicts the difficulty of removing it. I wish they would just follow the Borders standard.
