How to Remove the Sticker from a New Book

Seriously, I hate those things. You have this beautiful object, like a book or a CD (haha, okay, no one buys CDs), and some poor artist has put painstaking care into the over design. What does the retailer do? Slap a sheet of shitty glue on it.

Why, WHY, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?

Maybe this is why bookstores are going out of business?
