I like the receipt-paper library hold slips as bookmarks, since they're light enough to slip between pages elsewhere in the book while I'm reading, and not be in the way.<br /><br />The good thing about the bookmarks received as gifts is that they are decorative. So I have them in or on strategically chosen hardcovers on my living room shelves, to add a little extra interest and to bring the givers to mind when I see them.Kate L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17044129739440995201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-53351040534814890312020-09-23T13:44:41.558-07:002020-09-23T13:44:41.558-07:00I have several from favorite bookstores, too.

My favorites are mostly from favorite bookstores here and in the UK, things like that.<br /><br />But since I also collect old books, I sometimes find an old forgotten bookmark still marking a long-dead reader's progress. I found a couple of really beautiful ones from the early 1900s that way (and now I can't remember where I put them for safekeeping). Even found a hardware store receipt from about 1930 in an old book and spent quite a while going down the list of purchases and prices.

I wouldn't always finish them, and when I purged my library a few years ago, I was amazed at the number of bookmarks I'd left in books!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-5556297176191849692020-09-23T11:57:39.867-07:002020-09-23T11:57:39.867-07:00I'm glad I made all those bookmarks for the Se...I'm glad I made all those bookmarks for the Seattle meet. My friend Helen and I had an assembly line set up and played music with a fast beat to it so we could motor through and get them done in one evening.

Maybe even find a way to display some of the more unusual or special ones.

I like all of them, although Mexico and Palau stand out.<br />I do not collect bookmarks. I collect books, pottery and some refrigerator magnets. One was given to me by a friend who traveled to South Africa, and Nelson Mandela is on it.<br /><br />I don't know how you have time to do all of this and keep it organized so well.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.com
