As a child bookmarks were always being given to me. Whenever you celebrated a birthday they were given at church with a verse on them, they were given as prizes at school with slogans on them and handmade ones with pressed flowers were always given by whoever had recently taken up the hobby. These were all saved at a time when collections were prized (I also collected stickers, stamps, soft drink cans, stones, shells, coins, Playmobile, hair ribbons to list a sample), but seldom used as I typically read only a book at a time and Babysitter Club books and Secret Seven series didn't have a large number of pages in which you could lose your place. Along the way, I lost my bookmarks and gained an ability to remember the exact page I'm up to whenever I put a book down. I've never been a dog-ear creator and dislike leaving a book face down with its pages open so it damages its spine. However, I have recently become a fan of bookmarks again. Not to collect, but to use, and the humble Post-it note just doesn't cut it when up against these:
A set of eight bookmarks, resembling book spines and perforated, so you can rip them off as needed. Available from Jack Spade.
