Because of the burgeoning trend of showcasing book annotation, it should come as little surprise there is also a place for readers to purchase tools to do their own annotation. Sure, you could hit up the local big box store for some sticky notes, pens, and highlighters, but there’s something a little more special grabbing a kit that’s pre-assembled by a fellow word nerd. Not to mention, they’re often a little more aesthetically pleasing if you don’t have access to a specialty stationary store (I know I don’t!). If book annotation is new to you, never fear. You can learn five ways to effectively annotate your books, how annotation helps your memory (I know this is why I take notes while reading!), ideas for how to annotate your books, and finally, how to enjoy annotating your books. Let’s take a look at some rad book annotation kits you can snag off Etsy. I would be remiss not to mention a couple of other things here. First, if you want to buy a pre-annotated book by a reader, you can. Some of the above-linked shops have ’em. Second, if you’re in the market for just some great book tabs and how to use them, we’ve got you covered on that. It was hard not to link up to a billion cute book tabs here.
