Again, the honorific prefix "go-" is used before "book", and not necessarily used correctly, but including it sounds unnatural.

Doujin translation yet again confirmed for ROCKET SCIENCE.

So how do you use that honorific prefix "go-" correctly?

I'm not 100% sure, myself, but assuming that "go-" can even be used as an honorific for a book, I'm half-certain that a proper usage would include using "kudasaimase", the most polite form of "kudasai", in conjunction with it, at least in this case. Regardless, I'm not sure how I'd convey it without making Reisen sound unnaturally stiff and formal, or just unnatural.

So if I'm rude to a book, it can turn into a tsukimogami and come back to bite me in the ass?

Shit, the Twilight books must already be looking for my name in the phone book.

Nah, tsukumogami only form after one hundred years have passed. We're safe from the Twilight-youkai.

Damn, I feel lighter now.
I just hope that what I said about Shakespeare's The Tempest wasn't perceived as an insult.
