Best wishes for a great 2025. I hope you get some great books and fantastic stories. Happy reading.

[@Richard.HistoryLit]

Many thanks! One thing with respect to 2025 is those prices seem to have landed already. £6 for a _Planet of the Apes._ does seem a bit pricey even for famous sci-fi !? I shall be into my local tomorrow or Friday for a short survey!

[@CamsCampbellReads]

Enjoyed this. I’m here from the historathon Discord.

[@Richard.HistoryLit]

Good to know new members are giving the content page a chance. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@ToReadersItMayConcern]

Seems like a nice, chill tag. Thanks for including me!

[@Richard.HistoryLit]

You're welcome.

[@revenantreads]

Thanks for the tag! I think I did this one a few years ago. Most of our answers match up. Totally agree about keeping those spines uncracked!

[@Richard.HistoryLit]

That will serve me right for double checking via the search box!?

[@revenantreads]

@ It’s possible I didn’t do this tag in particular but have done tags with similar questions. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It gets difficult to keep track after a few years of doing them.

Fun video, I like Ben McEvoy, but he's a marmite character, so love him, but some hate him. He has excellent ideas. I do similarly to you , use the making system and run a notebook. If I want to really study a book, I will use removable tabs with the page number in the book referencing my notebook page. The annotations in the book are always in pencil.

[@Richard.HistoryLit]

Glad to hear pencil being deployed by your good self. I suppose paperbacks don't tend to last and publishers might be keen to produce new editions, so scrawling all over a book especially for college is understandable. But still. A course might evidently target just a few chapters, which leaves the rest of it potentially unread. Such is life however. Interesting how you have a centralised system of note taking. I would guess it is a useful assistant for teaching. Mr McEvoy is definitely an enthusiast...

[@battybibliophile-Clare]

@Richard.HistoryLit yes to all you say, and I like older books too. My notes are all dated too, so that it forms a journal of my reading and thoughts on it.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

This is a terrific tag, Richard, and thank you for including me. I feel the same way about any used books I buy; I really try only to buy books described as in “very good” or “like new” condition. I also only write in pencil in books now, but that was not the case when I was still teaching. Thanks again for the tag! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@Richard.HistoryLit]

I'm glad you like the tag. I may be trying to over-think the questions but having a good mull over things can be an engaging process and time well spent... And there does appear lots of booktubers who have missed this one, I guess because it is from way back in 2012? If a good few of them do so there will be variation to reckon with, at least for the proverbial nosy-parker! with warm regards,
