誰も + potential verb form

Question

I'm pretty sure "誰にも読めない本" is correct. However, I have also heard something in the same vein as "誰も読めない本", without the に. Is this also correct?
If so, does も replace が here?

Is this not actually a question about particle use with potential verbs (not about 誰も)? — Mathieu Bouville, Apr 07 '19 at 20:37

Yes, it is correct in this case.

No, it cannot be replaced. 誰も読めない本 is correct. 誰が読めない本 is incorrect. Japanese people never say it like this.
