Book: Thucydides: The Reinvention of History by Donald Kagan

Bookmarked Bookmarks

Just another novelty bookmark, this one illustrating the adage about raining cats and dogs. It’s hard to tell from the picture, but it has a 3-D effect.

I don’t think I’m really keen on beaded bookmarks, at least ones where the beads go between the pages. But this is nice.

Book: The Metaphysical Club by Louis Menand

Bookmarked Bookmarks

These are from a set of a dozen paper-cut bookmarks featuring masks of characters from the Beijing Opera.

Book: The Story of China by Michael Wood

Bookmarked Bookmarks

Just a giftshop bookmark from one of the chain stores. The sort of thing you pick up while waiting in line. But who can resist such a plushy fellow?

Book: American Visions by Robert Hughes

Bookmarked Bookmarks

Is this ivory? I don’t know. I hope not. But it was given to me as a present so it’s in my collection and I handle it with care.

Book: The Transcendentalists and Their World by Robert A. Gross

Bookmarked Bookmarks

I have lots of these cheap novelty bookmarks. This is a bookworm, because he’s a little green grub holding a book. Plus he’s wearing glasses.

Book: The Russian Revolution: A New History by Sean McMeekin

Bookmarked Bookmarks
