You don’t have to spend money to start collecting bookmarks. You can pick up lots of them for free at bookstores and libraries while you’re at the checkout. And if you hold on to them you’ve got a little piece (OK, a very little piece) of history. As an example, here are some bookmarks I’ve picked up over the years commemorating the 2003, 2004, and 2008 Governor-General’s Literary Awards. Two of the 2004 bookmarks are shown so you can see both sides.
Not that I think arts awards mean anything, because I sure don’t, but dated bookmarks like this do add something to every collection.

Who designs them, Tinto Brass? If you need to mark your place in tawdry filth like Titus Andronicus, I gues that’s appropriate…

Few more devoted connisseurs of bare female legs than Tinto, you could be locked up for whipping that bookmark out in public…

On a completely side note, I know you don’t use the wp reader, but is there any chance of you trying to respond to one of my comments in it? My “n” on my keyboard won’t work in it. It’s not me, as my keyboard works fine in every other program. So I’m trying to narrow it down to if it’s just me or not.
This comment is being done from the notification area from my site, the little bell in the upper right of the screen.
