This book is better for having been scribbled in
Archive: Online bookselling
Today's bad used book description is a conniving attempt to turn a reading copy into an enhanced edition.
Some outlining and textual notes improve the reading of this work.
The book is a fairly standard postmodern text that can easily be sold to a poor graduate student if the price is right. Now, I'd like to get the price a clean copy can bring myself. When I'm pricing an uncommon book I begrudge some prior owner his annotations. When it is an in print RKP critical theory title I just put “Underlining and marginalia, paper white, binding firm” and price it to sell.

Feel free to share your feelings about This book is better for having been scribbled in. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.
This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
