Bookmark:



A bookmark is a thin marker, commonly made of paper or card, used to keep the reader's place in a book and to enable the reader to return to it with ease. Other frequently used materials for bookmarks are leather, metals like silver and brass, silk, wood and fabrics. Many bookmarks can be clipped on a page with the aid of a page-flap

History

• Bookmarks were used throughout the medieval period,[1] consisting usually of a small parchment strip attached to the edge of folio (or a piece of cord attached to headband). As the first printed books were quite rare and valuable, it was determined early on that something was needed to mark one's place in a book without causing its pages any harm. Some of the earliest bookmarks were used at the end of the sixteenth century, and Queen Elizabeth I was one of the first to own one
• Modern bookmarks are available in a huge variety of materials in a multitude of designs and styles. Many are made of cardboard or heavy paper, but they are also constructed of leather, ribbon, fabric, felt, steel, wire, tin, beads, wood, plastic, vinyl, silver, gold, and other precious metals, some decorated with gemstones
• The first detached, and therefore collectible, bookmarkers began to appear in the 1850s. One of the first references to these is found in Mary Russell Mitford's Recollections of a Literary Life (1852): "I had no marker and the richly bound volume closed as if instinctively." Note the abbreviation of 'bookmarker' to 'marker'. The modern abbreviation is usually 'bookmark'. Historical bookmarks can be very valuable, and are sometimes collected along with other paper ephemera
• By the 1860s, attractive machine-woven markers were being manufactured, mainly in Coventry, UK, the centre of the silk-ribbon industry. One of the earliest was produced by J.&J. Cash to mark the death of the Prince Consort in 1861. Thomas Stevens of Coventry soon became pre-eminent in the field and claimed to have nine hundred different designs
• Woven pictorial bookmarks produced by Thomas Steven, a 19th century English silk weaver, starting around 1862, are called Stevengraphs.[2] Woven silk bookmarks were very appreciated gifts in Victorian days and Stevens seemed to make one for every occasion and celebration. One Stevengraph read: All of the gifts which heaven bestows, there is one above all measure, and that's a friend midst all our woes, a friend is a found treasure to thee I give that sacred name, for thou art such to me, and ever proudly will I claim to be a friend to thee
• Most nineteenth-century bookmarks were intended for use in bibles and prayer books and were made of ribbon, woven silk or leather. By the 1880s the production of woven silk markers was declining and printed markers made of stiff paper or cardboard began to appear in significant numbers. This development paralleled the wider availability of books themselves, and the range of available bookmarkers soon expanded dramatically

Bookmark Decorating Ideas:

Bookmarks hold a reader's place in a book to enable the reader to come back exactly where he left. Bookmarks may be ornate brass, hand-embroidered, etched or embossed creations or effluvia--such as a spare receipt, concert ticket or even a paper straw wrapper. If you're crafty and enjoy a bit of do-it-yourself activity, you can create unique bookmarks that show off your interests and hold your page place in style

Charity Support

Decorate a bookmark to show off your support for a charity. Many charities have symbols or logos they use to represent their cause; for example, breast cancer charities use the pink ribbon symbol and the World Wildlife Fund uses the panda. If you're artistic, draw the symbols by hand onto a strip of paper; otherwise, print a copy off from the Internet. Type or hand-write the charities' slogans, where applicable, such as the American Red Cross slogan of "Give Blood. Save Lives." Then, run your bookmark through a laminating machine or do a do-it-yourself version of laminating by laying a strip of packing tape on top of the bookmark, flipping the bookmark over, then laying another strip of packing tape on the bottom side. Cut around the extra edges for a strong, sturdy, water-resistant way to keep your place in your next novel

Author Fanatic

Show off your love of a particular author by creating a bookmark to use whenever you're reading her books. Search for the author's name on a bookseller's online website, then print out a list of all of her available publications (size the font of the list so that it stays within the confines of the width of your bookmark; for example, adjust the font size to 10 points). Run a highlighter across the books you've already read or collected, then glue the bookmark to a piece of cardboard to add some strength. Print out a copy of the author's picture to add to the bookmark or an image of one of her book covers and glue to the other side of the cardboard. This bookmark not only keeps your place in the book, but reminds you of what books are next on your list of must-reads

Pet Photo Collage

See an image of your beloved cat, puppy, hamster or even arachnid every time you open your books. Consider making a pet photo collage bookmark, quickly created with just a few household supplies. Take about 10 photos of your pet (for book-themed settings, bring your pet into your library or position a few books around him, with one open like he's reading), then scan or upload them to the computer. Resize them to fit your planned bookmark size (consider a width of about 2.5 inches), then print them out. Glue the pictures vertically onto a piece of cardboard, letting one side dry before gluing to the other side. You'll have two rows of pet pictures to see each time you start reading again. To preserve the photos, cover the bookmark in cling film wrap (available with the tin foil in the grocery store), cutting around any excess
