I started to read one of my recently acquired used Star Wars novels last night and I discovered to my annoyance that the previous owner had highlighted sentences in it.
Okay, I get doing that in a nonfiction book, and I can even understand why someone would highlight passages in a work of literature. But a Star Wars novel? And an otherwise perfectly nice hardcover copy to boot?
Fortunately this is why I save my receipts. This one's going back to the bookstore today while I kick myself for not more diligently inspecting the book before I bought it.
