After receiving it as a gift a while back, I pulled Daniel Stashower’s The Hour of Peril out of my “to read” pile and started to page through it. I noticed that there was no internal reference structure and no endnotes or footnotes (at least in the hardcover edition that I have). After a little internet searching, I found that the “source notes” are available online (I had not seen that before related to a historical text publication). You can find the source notes here:

The book, what little I have read of it so far, is interesting.
Anyway, I started to think about these reference/source notes and which I and others might prefer: footnotes, endnotes or the aforementioned online source notes. Or maybe some prefer no notes at all.
What does everyone prefer or not prefer and why or why not!

Footnotes, endnotes or online notes?
