Hello All!

I wanted to ask about advice on annotating a full color copy of the book during a reading as well as for general thoughts the community might have on how to customize the mass market paperback into a truly unique (but still legible) object.

My current working plan was to rip off the covers and spine, hole punch the pages, place them into a binder so I could rearrange and add pages to my copy (like bad photocopies from the appendices, a copy of the Whalestoe Letters, my own drawings, etc.). I was likewise thinking of some other changes like: water aging/dying the pages (my copy had an unfortunate run in with fruit punch courtesy of my baby cousin...), adding tabs (both for contents and also by theme?), using a set of cloth measuring tapes as my three bookmarks, checking the index for missing words and noting the words that should be there on their respective pages, etc.

I'd appreciate any suggestions more suggestions! Thank you!

P.S. Where possible please keep story spoilers off this post - I haven't finished my first complete read through book yet and am hoping engaging with this project will help!
