Book Abusers

That's a frequent post in my personal journal. It's a pet peeve of mine - people intentionally damaging books in various ways: corner folders, spine breakers and underliners to name a few. Generally, I try to leave a book in as good a shape as when I pick it up. Of course that's not possible in an absolute sense - there is always some wear - but I try. So what brings the matter to the fore today? Well, I finally baked a perfect shortbread. It has taken more attempts than I'm willing to admit, but it's not completely my fault. After consulting several other sources, it appears the book I used contains an error in the specified oven temperature. That's not a big deal for someone who already knows how to cook shortbread; but for a novice it has caused a lot of trouble. So now comes the big question: How do you make a correction to a factual error in a book? - especially given my aversion to book abuse. I'm leaning towards inserting a hand written correction on a little slip of paper - but what if it falls out? Someone else could get burned by this in the future. Maybe a sticky note would be a better choice. Does anyone know how sticky note adhesive effects book paper after years of exposure? I assume 3M must have test data by now.
