in honour of me re-rearranging my books i am bringing back my very unserious annotations from my copy of good omens that's hanging on by a single thread

Not all drolleries are well-loved. There used to be something here, but it was washed away ages ago. What do you think it could have been? Whatever it was, it was in the bottom margin of f. 213r, Ms. Codex 724, a 13th century Bible. #drollerydonnerstag

You can use the books in the Train Track Princes universe as coloring books

I encourage it, in fact

alright im catching up on Ted Lasso after completely forgetting about it for a few weeks and right off the bat. not to be an English Major but if someone gifted me a first edition Austen and they'd written something in it in sharpie I would've gone to prison for murder

how do you think r and s would treat their books? like in terms of annotations and how much they would preserve the book. would they dog ear pages? would they crack the spine? etc xx

hello bab!! fun question!! i reckon s would take very good care of his books. in general i always imagine him being extremely clean + neat + organized. he was not raised in a household that would let him get away with dog-earing the corner of a page and i imagine it stuck whether he liked it or not. it would just not be the natural way he would treat a book. on the other hand i think r would see annotating a book and dog-earing pages as all part of showing it love! he comes from a house where everything is a little battered and worn and used-looking, so a well-loved book to him is one that visibly wears its use, including breaking the spine so he can hold it more comfortably :-)

One defacement takes out two faces.  From Davenport College's 1932 yearbook.

Here's my modest collection of vintage facelessness.

Wondering about this post?  Wait for the dissertation (TBA). For now:  Weblog ◆ Books ◆ Videos ◆ Music ◆ Etsy

When you want to make shallow comparisons between Red Hood and Defacer and advertise it as bat-cest click bait.
