this is usually the only way I annotate books

How I can tell my dad didn't really look at the illustrations or read their captions in his copy of The Age of Revolution: the little blurb beside Saint-Just's portrait claimed he was born two years before Robespierre (!!!) and this had not been corrected.

Well, it's been corrected NOW. *caps pen*

This book will have so much value-added value, when your family is through!

Well, it's also a rather beat-up and yellowing paperback printed fifty years ago, so I don't know that it has much value as a physical object... but yeah, you're not going to find this exact set of commentary anywhere else in the world. *wry* (Plus it contains a couple Drew University library request cards my dad was using as bookmarks, dated back to the late 1970s, which is vaguely interesting from a historical trivia standpoint.)
