Honestly, I used to buy new books exclusively because I am very particular about my things. I still buy some books new, but it’s especially exciting reading a lot of non-fiction and seeing others’ notes in the margins, what they’ve underlined or emphasised, and feeling that shared connection over a joint interest.
Just very cool to see, and exploring what maybe made particular things stick out to them. Almost feels like you get to know them a bit by the end of the book and you see the patterns in the things they found important, or their notes.
Just my observation, anyway, and thought I’d share because at least to me it makes this hobby of ours that little bit more magical.
