WE HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS, THEY ARE CALLED FOOTNOTES.

"COME OUT COME OUT AND FLIP TO THE BACK OF THE FUCKING BOOK AND SEARCH FOR THE TINY NUMBER. OH YOU HAVE A PDF? THEN FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING LIFE" - DERANGED SICKO PUBLISHERS

Under communism, endnotes will be banned and punishable by law.

My favorite thing about footnotes in when I turn a page and there is about 3 lines of text and 80 lines of footnotes. I forget if it was Rorty or Scialabba or whoever but I distinctly remember reading a bookform essay that was more footnote than essay.

I remember this happening when I read Hannah Arendt. I thought it was hilarious.
