can ink be removed from paper without damaging the paper?

I suspect that this is impossible, but; is there a technique that would allow me to remove ink from paper without affecting the appearance of the paper? Specifically, I would like to remove marks left by a black, self-inking stamp on the fly-leaf of a book.
Bonus points if for whomever can remove the same type of ink that has been stamped over text without damaging the text beneath.

This Library of Congress page has some very general book storage questions but also has a link for questions. They may help you out or be able to direct you to the appropriate resource. Also, if you have a nearby university/art school with a book arts program, someone there can probably tell you what to do.
