imo we're really good at the "in whole" piece of book piracy but not yet "and in part."

I wanna see people cutting up the most impactful parts of 5 books on a subject and sticking them together. adding an extra chapter in the middle that they think is missing. rewriting to make it about their favorite characters. different ending. updating technical books to give more modern advice, while keeping all the good stuff. crowdsourced links and comments added as marginalia throughout the book. recipes for every type of lasagna taken from 100 cookbooks, with shitty mpreg Garfield art added throughout. these things should feel alive.
