How to Pimp a Book (Illustrated)

A few weeks back, I wrote about how to read a book. Syl Arena, who is Joe McNally’s assistant, has just begun a blog and offers some ways to seriously hack (pimp) a book. These include the usual suspects such as the use of markers, pens, highlighters, and post-it tape flags but also some uncovenventional techniques such as adding a ring binding to a perfect-bound book and laminating the covers. As an example, he offers his own hack of McNally’s The Moment It Clicks, one of the books that I’ll get to later in the year. I’m not as confident with a grinder as Syl evidently is, so my copy of Joe’s book will remain in its original form.
