    Thanks Siep in reference to your copy. Might just be an issue with this edition. Thinking I'll still try the very slightly damp cloth that you suggest Dan just to see if it's a permanent thing. Thanks again guys.

      The trick is to lightly spray some on a paper towel, then gently wipe the dust jacket or whatever you're trying to clean. Don't actually spray anything directly on your book .

        Oh I certainly would never do that! lol. You were correct Siep, they will not come off. I gave it the old gentle college try and it stays just as it is. Dan, do you think it'd be appropriate to start another thread solely addressing this issue? I'm just really curious if Siep and I are the only ones to experience this. Thanks.

          Mine has the same, I think it's just rubbing marks between the book and case. I've seen it a lot with matte finishes. Shiny get scratches and matte gets rub marks.

              LOL!! Yes!!! Your "Dark Half" . Seriously though "Siep", I apologize. I knew it'd screw up the spelling sooner or later :-/. And sadly my friend, it probably won't be the last so I'll apologize in advance for future post

                That makes sense for sure. Oh well, at least the slipcase looks nice??

                  No problem, Brian, my first name is not too common here either, let alone in your part of the world.

                      Yes. Plus my favorite director's as well.
                      Any idea who this could be?

                        My guess would be Stanley Kubrick.

                          Isn't that the guy who absolutely destroyed The Shining?

                            Watch it, Brian - Stanly Kubrick did not destroy The Shining. Maybe his adaptation did not live up to your expectations, but that's a different story.
                            To tell the truth: I was terribly disappointed as well.
