How to Get High Lights Out of a Book

When i'm first working on the book, i have a lot of books that are just high lighted. Then when i get to a particular chapter, i deal with that chapter like i'm dealing with an article. And then i go to write in a self contained world where everything i need is in my research folder for this chapter. So it's really a two stage process for big books. I hope those distinctions aren't too arbitrary or subtle and give you some instinct about how i handle those challenges.
