Halocho #734 - Erasing on Shabbat

The same way that writing is forbidden on Shabbat, so too is erasing forbidden.

There are opinions that it is forbidden to open books that have writing along the edge.

The custom is to allow opening such books - even though the writing will be "broken" and again "repaired" when one closes the book.

However, it is best to not write along the edge of books that will be used on Shabbat.
