DAMN you! BOOK VANDAL!

are you one of those that get pretty upset/ticked off when you find library books in a lousy state? vandalised..pages falling out..peeling covers..dog earred pages..mementos from the previous reader - receipts/unidentified stains..(ew)

anyway i picked up a book yesterday and was horrified to find it in a bad state..
it got worse once i flipped open the book
there were loads of pencil markings..mostly ticks..in the first 10 or so chapters of the book..


oh the horror..

the book is not yours laaa..stop treating it like your literature text can?!

as if that was not bad enough?
the book vandal apparently can't read roman numerals..


it's not a must to know how to read them but..he/she probably was alittle blind as well.. coz the chapter number? is printed in English on every top left corner of alternate pages..

by the way in case you were wondering, the roman numeral doesn't match the chapter number because the book is split up into 3 parts and each part starts with 'chapter 1'..


there are a total of 60 chapters but the guilty one gave up marking the chapters at 47.. well he/she either realised there was no need to mark or he/she just gave up on the book..

oh dear..
i have a feeling this book vandal didn't do all too well for literature

alright..i'm gonna go back to getting rid of the silly pencil markings now..
