So I checked out a copy of Edith Wharton's short stories, including "Roman Fever," because someone recently mentioned reading it! I noticed it had a little annotation then turned the page and...
some brave and virtuous soul (assuming it wasn't the same person) tried erasing but soon discovered that even a gentle eraser takes off the PRINT.
@platypus I enjoy notes in old books. It's really cool, like finding old wallpaper in a house.
@sullybiker if they don’t CROSS OUT PASSAGES like this menace it can be ok. Notes in the margin are normally ok. But this is making a library book completely useless for its purposes — I borrowed it to read the story and I can’t read the story like that. It might be interesting to read notes afterward but it ruined it for me with crossing out passages
