Find as much Goo Gone as possible and get all that stuff off of whatever. That's kind of expensive, though, so maybe I'd just smear peanut butter on everything and then wash it off.
(Seriously. I used peanut butter to get the glue off a plastic soda bottle so I could make a Portal Gun out of it last August. It worked perfectly. Peanut oil makes glue easy to wash off. I wish I knew why.)
What would you do if all your books came to life and attacked you in the style of an Alfred Hitchcock movie?
