I have a decent library that is expanding. I am curious on how common this practice is for people who collect books?

The book in the photo is a book I got from a free table at a college I’ve worked at. It’s always struck me as special.

I have no interest in reselling. I love my collection, I read them to my daughters and lend them (sometimes) to people to read or just give away books.

I’ve seen people write in books like this, of course I’ve seen some people buy the custom embossers off Etsy. Is there perhaps an additional option?

Is this heresy or is this something people do without much talking. I’d be interest to get some opinions on it.
