I actually worked in the book department at a Goodwill and would come across some pretty cool books, some where really old and would sell for a little more, but I cant imagine the history behind where they came from and previous owners. I think books are mysterious in their own way. Also I agree with the previous post from Bookuvr Mindy in regards to the taped up pages..just curious! Love your Blog by the way and thanks for sharing such funny story.classylatinacathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442700919899662173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450763141052086285.post-67199581975131743442012-02-14T11:01:08.925-05:002012-02-14T11:01:08.925-05:00People are truly UNbelievable at times.

By the way, it's a book I bought as an ebook then ran out to get a hardcopy just because I wanted my daughters (1st and 3rd graders) to read it one day.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906613969439987030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450763141052086285.post-62301313878836496262012-02-12T16:20:07.383-05:002012-02-12T16:20:07.383-05:00hahahahaa I found this post on the interview you d...hahahahaa I found this post on the interview you did with Rachel.

I'm glad you bought your daughter another copy.<br /><br />You may think I'm nutty, but I never buy used books and while I occasionally get books from the library, they are kept sequestered like little prisoners because I've seen what people do in public (i.e. subway=yuck) and what George Costanza did in a bookstore, I don't want to know what people do with or to books in the privacy of their own home!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11697541436662068774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450763141052086285.post-26401802375512412892012-01-28T05:05:48.459-05:002012-01-28T05:05:48.459-05:00What's more funny is that the whited-out parts...What's more funny is that the whited-out parts were not at all disturbed.

But also, I was cringing the entire post because I'm a strict 'no writing' 'no folding pages' 'no bookmarks thicker than the pages' sort of book person. <br /><br />My dad use to pre listen to my tapes when I wanted to buy them. The poor man sat through Ace of Base, hated it, and deemed it acceptable. He would have never said "All tracks but the third one on side A are okay". <br /><br />I'm glad you're buying her another copy! I hope she enjoys it.Sharylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411308814378598054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450763141052086285.post-63979070219551953112012-01-27T23:00:54.885-05:002012-01-27T23:00:54.885-05:00P you need to post the pic :D

Maybe they shouldn't have let their child read it at all if it was too advanced a book for them.<br /><br />And if I was the "child" reading it, of course I'd go try to scratch out the whited out words because, um, that calls attention to them!<br /><br />Also, um, if you've taken the time to redact it, why not keep it? Did the reader want to share their edited view of the book with the world?<br /><br />People have seriously way too much time on their hands if they're whiting out chapters. And if there were that many words whited-out, did the person get a little contact high? Weird. Definitely weird.<br /><br />To each his own I suppose.Fiktshunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427683900301365770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450763141052086285.post-23148228185307984492012-01-27T16:18:40.556-05:002012-01-27T16:18:40.556-05:00Oh shoot our copy is checked out.

Stephanie Perkins tweeted this and that's how I found this post. I cannot believe the people who would do that. Why spend the money and waste the time and really, why ruin the perfect bliss of ANNA!?!?! I fully enjoyed the uncensored version so much I reread my favorite parts. I'm going to be laughing about this all day. And, shaking my head for the idiocy of some people. White out...*shakes head* That's like sacrilege. I think they need to be drawn and quartered.
