    A Guide to Personalising Books *grangerising*

    17:51A Guide to Personalising Books *grangerising*
    • Commonplacing was very popular in the 17th century and then Grangerising and extra illustrating was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. But both of them are very similar in terms of the practice. I was really struck by it when I was reading about Grangerising just how similar the two are. Because in commonplacing you take a notebook and you make this into a little personal encyclopedia and when you Grangerise a book you turn a printed volume into a kind of encyclopedia. But in both cases you are compiling related information into a volume which then becomes very personal. And I think that's a wonderful frame to enter the practice of Grangerising. It's very similar to commonplacing and I would see it as an extension of commonplacing and commonplace book culture. If you want to learn more about the act of commonplacing and how to start a commonplace book in particular which is adjacent to the process of Grangerising a book then I actually have created a course all about commonplacing and how you can use the practice of commonplacing to cultivate curiosity. I created this course with Skillshare and it gives a deep dive into the history, practices, how to start a commonplace book and actually how to practically use a commonplace book to change the way that you think. Skillshare is of course the world's largest online learning community and it's a place where you can learn anything, any kind of skill. You think of it and you search it up and I'm sure somebody will have made a course on it. You can learn practical skills like video editing, marketing, graphic design but there are also so many classes around thinking and reading. Particularly relevant perhaps if you're watching this video and you're interested in changing the way that you read and you want to kind of be intentional about the act of reading, what it means to read, I would recommend you looking at Robin
