Can you expound more on why you think this? Do you think it’s okay to write in a book you own and don’t plan to get rid of?
Saying it’s vandalism seems a bit extreme to me—-unless we’re talking about a book borrowed from a friend or a library.
I don’t really write notes in margins much anyway. It never seemed useful to me to bind my notes directly to the pages that they come from. They become too hard to find.
- ZainRiz 6y agoI totally get it. I used to revere books waaaaay to much to let any blemish willingly tar them. Now though, I'm delighted to write notes all over
- hyko 6y agoI think it stems from an unreasonable reverence for the printed word. You never own a book, you’re just its custodian for a period of time! I’m only really calling it vandalism with my tongue firmly in cheek–obviously anyone can do what they like with their own books :)
