Altered books
A post on altered books over at Library Stuff reminded me of a book I recently checked out of the library. A previous reader really went at it with a purple highlighter. Fortunately, the copious notes are mostly scribbled on Post-It notes, which appear on almost every other page. I’m building a collection of them inside the back cover. Sometimes particularly important notes (or notes perhaps written during a Post-It note shortage) appear in the margins. One reminds the reader the Miss Smith, introduced mere pages earlier, is the consulate at the American embassy. This saved me the trouble of turning back a few pages, where the entire conversation with Miss Smith has been colored like an Easter egg.
