Perhaps my favorite thing about library books --- and used books if I'm lucky --- is finding that a previous reader has fixed a printed error in pen or pencil.

I would appreciate this if it were a factual error. If it were a typographical or grammatical error I think I would be jarred by the distraction!

(I think of myself as a good proofreader but I have to enter that mode deliberately; when I am absorbed in content I will happily pass by most small errors.)

A good correction of something grave is nice to find, but maths undergraduates tend to get it right only so often...
