I don't even like when I accidentally draw a line on a page with my pencil even though I erase it. But I tend to take extremely good care of my things because I like them to last as long as they can, and I enjoy handling a book that is in nice condition more than a book that looks like a piece of trash.When I'm buying old books (like 1e adventures I don't have), I don't mind if it is in bad condition. The pages can have tears and be scuffed from normal wear and tear and I don't mind at all as long as I can read it. But if there is any kind of writing or highlighting in it, I don't want it. It doesn't feel like it is actually mine when I see a strangers name and writing in it.The worst was when I bought a collection of books from a woman and she had 4"x4" labels glued to the inside cover of each (done with a glue stick) and her name was written on them. I didn't realize it when I bought them. I managed to peel some of them off ok, but most of them looked disgusting. I ended up reselling most of them on Amazon.</blockquote>
