Do you mark your books?

[IronWolf]

I don't mark in them I don't use sticky flags anymore not since I found that they can gear when you remove them if you keep them in to long. Now I use different colored index cards to mark pages.

Yeah, I had a sticky flag tear a page in my Bestiary. Lame.

They can also pull up the ink if you get in a printed part.

I make use of them in my hand written motes and things like that but I don't use them in books any longer.

Another thing I used to do in addition to my name on the inside cover, was to put old school book covers on my "public use" books so I could spot mine amidst a heap.

(also so I could better hide my secret nerdom when in public. good GOD the 3rd ed books were freaking ugly...)

No, but I used to treat my 1e books like coloring books.

I have my Pathfinder Core Rulebook marked up with highlighter in a few spots, but primarily I have about twenty of those write-on plastic sticky tabs added for fast references. I've been a book collector in the past, but I guess I grew out of that. I've come to appreciate how office supplies can make my game better...

Also, I frequently use post-it notes to temporarily mark pages in my Bestiary, especially if I'm using more than one type of standard beastie in a combat. Two post-its make it really easy to flip back and forth between pages. I keep about a half-dozen of 'em stuck to the inside cover for this reason.

One of the ways that I fail at being a college student is that I refuse to mark up my textbooks. I just wasn't raised that way-- books were durable property to be cared for and passed on to others when we were done with them.

 

[Barroll]

Luckily(Or not so luckily) I am the only player in my group of novices (I'm the DM) who owns any books... So no I do not have to mark my books... I am still trying to get everyone to grab their own set of dice...

I don't highlight the text. I use pencil to note monster hp, monsters killed in adventures, and many other sidenotes. I'll put my name in them, and I've used postits in my copy of Yggsburgh.

[MENTION=326]Upper_Krust[/MENTION] is horrified that my copy of Legends & Lore has many of the deities crossed out, where they were killed in our campaign. The copy of Deities & Demigods (with Melnibone & Cthulu) he gave me one year is still pristine, though.

This. I also update all rulebooks manually whenever new Rule Updates are released.

I don't put my name in any books, though, because it's not necessary due to the above.

Hey S'mon!

I don't highlight the text. I use pencil to note monster hp, monsters killed in adventures, and many other sidenotes. I'll put my name in them, and I've used postits in my copy of Yggsburgh.

These books were my holy texts growing up. Your writing on them was sacriligeous to me.

I still recall the horror when Allen Shiels bleeding forefinger left a one inch bloodstain across Bahamut's entry of my 1st Edition Monster Manual. What a dark day that was.

There is a tenth Hell for those who defile their books and probably an eleventh or twelth for those who dare defile mine!
