My advice: go easy. One thing I've learned is that the final result of anything you try will not be fully known for at least 48 hours. What looks good in the short term can go badly in the long-term. And, thankfully, vice versa. Hope this quick solution works out for you, but be prepared for a result that's different tomorrow than yesterday...

David,
It's been a few days. How did the alcohol work? How does the leather look? Did the marker stain come out?

OK I have a book at home that tells you how to do this, but it is at home and not here at work, but I know you use something commonly found around the house. I just can't think of what it is for the life of me. I know I used it on a friends Lexus to get some ink stain out that was left from the valet parking people. I think it was a creamy substance if I remember right...don't even go there people. I will look it up tonight and let ya know what it is.

The stain is still there, but it is very light. I'm okay with that.
