Price sticker ripped away paperback cover
I recently picked up a paperback where a spot on the back cover had been ripped away when the price sticker was being removed. Luckily the damage isn't visible most of the time since it's on the back of the book, but I can still feel the spot whenever I hold the book open and read it. I'm guessing this damage is not completely fixable, but is there anything I could use to smooth the spot out and make the back cover feel uniform again? Also, is there any kind of paint/etc. folks would recommend to try and make the spot blend in more with the rest of the cover? Thanks in advance! :)
