@bibliolater @bookstodon a dear, elderly friend of mine downsized his bookshelves, and I received many of his books.

One of my favorites was a book that I also had loved and had marked heavily, and I was able to compare to his copy, heavily noted and highlighted. It’s a precious thing to see.

Annotated allow the reader of the to enter the mind of the writer. It adds another layer of understanding to the text. I suppose they are like the note writer's 'fingerprints' all over the .

Yeah, #marginalia and #notes looks to me like a dialogue between the reader and the text and the author.. and in this case, multiple readers as well.
