^I have a lot of books like that too, aln. I hate when the marker bleeds through the front cover. Arrrgh!! Oh,I'm so sorry. I don't have book covers like that. There are some names written with markers on the page under the covers(They sometimes have stickers too),but it doesn't bleed through the covers,and the stickers aren't hard to remove.

I don't fill up mine. They are all empty and as new.

I just checked my books. None of my pages are filled. I do remember finding a note in one of my books, but it was pretty short.

My sister was reading our copy of Kristy & Dog Trainer and there was dried-up, crusted over barf on it. Gross! It actually stuck two pages together. (Well . . . at least it seemed like barf. It had the sour smell.)

I recently bought a BUNCH of the older Baby-Sitters Club books in the new covers, and was surprise that they are all in perfect conditions and that the notebooks pages don't have anything writing on it. I'm still on a mad BSC book.

I'll never usually throw away a book, but I think I'll feel too nauseous myself too keep it. I also hate old food stains in library and used books, it's so disgusting

^ That is so gross. Thankfully, I have never gotten any with food stains (or barf ) on them.

I generally don't care what my books look like as long as all the pages are there and I can read them. However, there is one thrift store that I go to where all the books are priced individually (I guess by length or condition. I'm not too sure.) All the workers are beyond retirement age and they stick these 1x1 inch price stickers on the front covers, usually on the picture. They're hard to get off so I usually rip a little of the picture off with it. Annoying.

They're hard to get off so I usually rip a little of the picture off with it. Annoying. That happens to me sometimes too. Once,I bought 4 LS books. I removed the two price tags on the front of the first two books successfully,but the price tag on the other two books were really hard to remove. So I ripped a little of both pictures.

The ones I hate are the library's stickers on books.
