How to turn your book edges from this to this.
Ta-da!
If you're a book lover like I am, you're bound to have old books on your shelves or recently bought from a second-hand bookstore that have book edges that could be part of a horror story.
Dun dun dun!
That's why this is how to clean your book edges.
What you're going to need is sandpaper.
What I'm using is a P100.
And you're just going to have to use just a small piece of it.
Don't use colored nail files because color will pass on to your book.
Scissors.
And of course, your book.
I've already done the bottom, so we'll be sanding this edge instead.
When sanding, hold the pages together to make the task easier and avoid an uneven edge.
See the difference?
More sanding.
As you can see, doing this produces a lot of book pixie dust, so better do this outdoors or somewhere you can easily clean.
Some discoloration can't be removed fully, especially if it's more spread in the pages.
Look at that before and after.
Needs more sanding, but you can now see the difference.
Let's try this part with a marker, but most likely it will just lighten because it's stained more on the page.
Do the sanding until you get carpal tunnel syndrome and your book edges will look brand new.
