Getting paint off leather books

I have a volume one of the Franklin Library Shakespeare and it has
a tiny bit of paint. I tried a little of the neatsfoot oil/lanoin
cream
to loosen it but it's not quite there. Any suggestions?

Simple. Use paint remover.

The only thing I can think of is using a leather cleaner product
which usually aren't used for leather books. It's mostly gone
by alternating that with the proper book dressing and getting
scraping at it.

If it was a 16th Century book, I wouldn't do it that way, but
then who would get paint on a 16th Century book?
(a very rich painter, perhaps!).

That might be a little hard on the leather, don't you think?
Also won't do any good if the paint is latex based.

An update:

NEVER RUB HARD A LEATHER BOOK!

Unless it has no dye whatsoever on it (which doesn't exist).

You always have to apply light to moderate pressure or else
that thin coating of dye will wear off.

Since the Franklin Library are no longer in business, you can't send
them a message for advice. Maybe try asking the Easton Press, who
produce the same kind of books, or send an email to other online sites
