It's got Garfield (the cat) on it. The bookmark and tassel are rather raggedy and beat up. This book mark dates at least back to the early 80s, I don't remember if I had it before going to college or if I got it while in college.<br /><br />I also have a stash of paper bookmarks acquired from various places. I have a big stash from my college student union. Then there is a stash advertising an SF convention that collected pre-registrations then never actually happened (and no refunds of course). Then various bookstore bookmarks and other random bookmarks round out the collection.<br /><br />If a novel gets sidelined for another more interesting one, the Garfield bookmark will move to the new book, and one of these random paper ones, or sometimes a found object one, will go into the book.<br /><br />Oh, and magazines often acquire a piece of (clean) toilet paper as a bookmark...<br /><br />FrankFrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855679156477779666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-83763360836170234012009-08-06T12:31:14.894-05:002009-08-06T12:31:14.894-05:00As an avid diner at Chinese restaurants, I submit ...As an avid diner at Chinese restaurants, I submit that chopstick wrappers make the very best bookmarks.

Much more functional too. ;-)ze bulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603716850479808633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-56835698292975889722009-08-06T01:26:04.294-05:002009-08-06T01:26:04.294-05:00I found that cutting the clear strip of plastic th...I found that cutting the clear strip of plastic that comes in a new dress shirt's collar gives me a perfectly durable, clear, 4cm wide bookmark.<br /><br />Haha, I think I'm getting more obsessive as I age, but I love having these uniformly clear bookmarks poking out of the multiple books I'm reading.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-89819340589274378672009-08-05T19:40:54.089-05:002009-08-05T19:40:54.089-05:00The in-laws message is great. :)The in-laws message is great. :)Timeshadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952601433965644275noreply@blogger.com
