Best Way to Enter Notes for Books?

How to leverage Logseq's linked structure?

I like this suggestion. However, doesn’t this nullify all the aspiring users who want to use Logseq for “Book Notes” (that is, creating a new page for a whole book, for example, a page with the name [[What Has Government Done to Our Money]] for taking notes and quotations from the famous book of [[Murray Rothbard]]) ? That stings.

Using a page to keep notes about a book:

• is valid and fine, as long as it is about:
  • outlining the content of the book
    • Takes the form of a hierarchical structure, like a custom Table of Contents.
      • Like all hierarchies, it:
        • facilitates navigation
          • especially during learning
        • cannot produce any emerging value
  • capturing the book’s overall meaning in a concise way
    • This is mostly:
      • about highlights
      • for memory refreshing
        • potential flashcards
      • for communicating to potential readers
• has nothing to do with:
  • journaling
    • The schedule for reading a book is irrelevant.
    • The actual date/time of reading a book is irrelevant.
  • knowledge management
    • The place/space of reading something is irrelevant.
    • Knowledge management is not:
      • book management
      • quotation management
    • Notes are associations of concepts, they are not lists of:
      • quotations
      • references
    • A book contains notes of its author.
    • The reader’s notes from reading the book and pondering:
      • may originate here
      • don’t belong here, but where they can provide leverage
