Marginalia (1)

Hopefully the first of a series of notes on writing and research...

There is some person who keeps writing comments/corrections
in the margins of Regency romances I borrow from the library.

Normally it's more irritating than either amusing or educational,
but at the moment I know EXACTLY how s/he feels. Grr. I caught 3
in the first 75 pages. Who knows how many more there may be that
I didn't catch due to relative unfamiliarity with this time period,
or because I was just doing a preliminary skim/read for how useful
it might be for what I'm doing.

They aren't simply spell-checking "typos", dammit. These are
errors in the copy that somebody ought to have caught.

Sadly, it's not a library book I can just take back
(with or without corrections...). Currently, I own it.

But I can't trust it without checking. Which is maddening.
