Nothing is more aggravating than purchasing a used magazine and finding that a pattern you would like to make has a page of instructions missing because they were on the back of a page someone else removed. I hate buying books and/or magazines that have been defaced by others -- this includes highlighted passages, hand written notes, and pages missing or with cutouts.
When I find a pattern I want to make in a magazine, I copy it and put it in page protectors so I can keep it with the project until completion. But then I frequently get a stack of quilt magazines out to look at again and again -- I frequently find patterns I never noticed before or my tastes have changed and now the pattern appeals to me. Books and magazines are like old friends I can visit from time to time.
