I've heard about this too. Does any type of sandpaper works?

Randomly came across this post and I know nothing about cleaning books. I do know about sandpaper though. Try a sanding sponge, they come in different grits but I’d try something over 100. The more the grit number the smoother the sandpaper. So 30 grit will tear some stuff up and 2000 grit will polish things.

Yes but very fine.

Sandpaper comes in grades. Very fine is what you want. A hardware store or similar will know.
