03-14-04, 07:43 PM Why do you not want to permanently affect the book? I prefer to make the changes permanent.

I use a document eraser (basically an eraser drill tip) and a .005mm Micron Pigma pen. Out with the old, and in with the new.

You're kidding, right?

03-15-04, 08:19 AM it is your book now. thousands and thousands were printed. your teacher is not going to make you erase all the marks you made it before you turn in. SO write in the book if you want. IT is your book.

I also do not like making permanent changes to my books more than just putting my name in them. You never know if/when someone else will inherit the book (either as a gift, a hand-me-down, or because you sold it), and I know that *I* don't want a book that somebody has ruined by scribbling all over, so I don't do it to my books.

Bingo.

I am thinking about little sticky numbers that correlate to the appropriate errata. The number there to help remind me that there is an errata for that passage.

I have not sold or given away one of my own books in 17 years. I haven't even sold back college textbooks. So when I buy a book (as opposed to borrow one), it is mine. :P

And when I die, and someone inherits my books, they will know that they have inherited my books.

And the .005mm Micron Pigma pen is my favorite series (although I also have them in other sizes, from .005 to .7mm).

OK, that explains why you have such items. I'd be worried if you had them expressly for the purpose of updating your D&D books. :)
