I'm glad I'm not the only one this truly irks! You know what annoyed me more though? When I went to take out all my books and some of the date stampy bits at the front were full.. instead of sticking in a new sheet the librarian STAMPED THE DATE STRAIGHT ONTO THE PAGE!!! What kind of world do we live in!? Hope was saved temporarily when I found a bookmark in another book, but I thought it was probably the same person who'd scribbled all over the marked page anyway. Wah.
As an aside, If I buy books new I like them spotless, but most I buy second hand and always like someone to have written an inscription in the front and for the spine to be cracked. Oddly. Probably because I hate cracking spines and writing in books myself. Otherwise it's a complicated system of multi-coloured squares of paper for me! One girl in my class this year used to highlight massive sections of her textbook with multi-coloured highlighters. I hated her.
And bums, I alas didn't get your message in time. Thank you though! I think I was thumbing through books angrily hoping I'd find some without grafitti! (I don't think I did.) I like language though, it's great. Especially when you don't have to write some kind of massive essay on it xxxxx
