That's a good idea, except that the occult-type books on my shelf tend to be 
printed with typefaces that're rather different from a standard roleplaying 
book. If I was this player, I'd quickly sort the paper scraps according to 
their typeface to get a clearer idea of what came from which book.

Gaming books generally seem designed to be read easily with a fairly modern 
face, so there's a bit of sameness. Once you cut off the margins of the 
page, it would be a lot harder to tell the difference. Random pages from "A 
Dictionary of Angels" and the "Oxford Companion to Philosophy" (two books 
from next to my bed) do look somewhat more like dictionary or encycopaedia 
pages than rulebook pages.

Possibly a minor problem, but it's one that occurs to me. I've been called 
font-obsessed in the past.

Cheers,
