If you were at a thrift store and found an annotated book, would you buy it?

[Ry]

This question just popped randomly into my head

[Sammy]

yes! I think it would be fun to see the other person’s annotations and to see if I’d annotate the same thing

[Liz]

I have bought that kind of book and I've also donated books with my own notes.

[Andrea]

No I wouldn't. Here in Sweden those kind of books doesn't even reach the shelf in thrift stores do they are deemed damaged.

[Jamie]

depends on how the annotations look. Can I still read the text with ease? Is it intruding too far into the text for notes or can I work around them and enjoy them at my leisure?

[sicfae]

Of course! It would be super cool to see that person's insights while reading, it'd def make the book more precious not less

[Ash]

Yes but only so I can see what they annotated and to see if I agree or not!

[Laurel]

for sure! i like hearing the opinions of others!

[Adam]

As an Author and teacher I feel it would go against my nature as a lover of writing and a lover of teaching lit and writing to not appreciate others comments.

[Sarah]

yes! I love seeing others thoughts
