I got my dad a copy of his favorite book (pic related) for Christmas, and I wanted to make the gift a little more personal. Any tips on writing inscriptions?
>>
Make sure to write inside the book and not on the cover or on things that are not the book
>>
why doesn't your dad have a copy of his favourite book
>>
>>7500429
good idea. I didn't even think of that
>>
>>7500431
he didn't want to buy a physical copy because he already has the audiobook

Even better, don't write in the book at all. Just put a fany card inside the book, don't ruin the fucking book.

lmao

OP here, i started it off with a quote from the book: "The best books are those that tell you what you already know." Not sure where im gonna go from there.

No no, definitely wrote in the book. Writing in a book makes it more personal. Say something like:

"Hey dad, I know you love this one. Just like big brother, im always watching you and emulating everything you do. I look up to you dad. You've been a great father to me and, one day, I hope to father my kids like you did to me. So when I see you talking to Ms. Simmons while washing the car and playfully squirting water in her direction, I can't help but think: hey, you know, I bet mom would like to hear about this. I bet mom, who thinks Ms. Simmons is a 'common slut', would absolutely love to hear about the time I went up grab wrapping paper from the supply closet last Christmas and found you two deep in eachother's anuses, fucking like the dirty animals you are. Yeah, I bet mom and her dad's money would love to hear about that. Merry Christmas dad and I swear to fucking God if I see you so much as look in her direction again, I'll let everything spill.

maybe he died?

Have a couple like those, but from earlier, like the 70's, one of them right after the carnation revolution. I like to think that they did not dispose of the book willingly.
