Oh yeah, I highlighted my college textbooks to death, but I'm far more reluctant to use it on... books that cost nowhere near as much? LOL! But are obviously dearer.
No matter how much a textbook cost, I never really respected them as books. My first semester of college, I kept my books in pristine condition because they warned you that you could not sell them back if they were marked up. And when I tried to sell them back to the bookstore at the end of the semester, I was offered $2 for a textbook. TWO dollars. TWO! I never bothered trying to sell books back to the bookstore after that. I have vague memories of selling a couple textbooks to other students directly, but they never minded if they were pre-highlighted (highlit?).
