    Printable bookmarks and book plates - what a great idea! I didn't know they existed.

    Because I read mostly for information and for book review purposes, I genrally use a folded piece of paper as my bookmark so that I can make notes along my reading journey. I am guilty of laying my books down to an open position, so thanks for the reminder not to do so.

    Love this Lens well done; I should use Book Plates, maybe my friends would actually return the books they borrow.

    Great lens covering a great list of things for any avid reader out there.

    Great lens! Additional idea for my book cover design clients!

    Nice lens! I would love to have one of those book embossers - how cool are they?
    As for bookmarks, I rarely use them. I just remember the page number, and am always surprised that so many other people don't do that.

    A perfect lens!

    I love vintage bookplates, this is something I could really collect but try not too (too many collection already)
  • WordWings Oct 11, 2011 @ 2:20 pm | delete
    I collect bookmarks, trying for one per book, except the one I choose to read, every time. Then I have to use a receipt or a scrap of paper, even a straw wrapper. My favorite one is the little ribbon attached to lovely books. That one I don't lose. Thanks for this adorable lens.

    Wonderful compilation of resources for bookmarks and bookplates! These would be awesome to print out and give with each book gift. I can't believe I have never thought to do that before! I love my own bookmarks, some have very special meaning and they serve as a great reminder of the giver.

    Nice idea for a lens - I collect leather bookmarks. I've featured your lens on my lens about the Franco-British Exhibition of 1908. Hope you get lots of visitors !

    very special bookmarks and bookplates. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Enjoyed it!
  • elhuntley Aug 15, 2011 @ 9:34 am | delete
    Good lens! I;ve always just used what was handy like a foled piece of paper or a business card.

    Very Nice Lens

    I love my bookmarks but sometimes do use whatever is handy like a receipt or even a tissue! You've provided some beautiful bookmarks here.

    Lovely designs. I am always looking for more bookmarks. I'll be checking out more of your lenses.

    I used to turn the page corners down to save my place, Now I use bookmarks. I have a large collection of bookmarks. Have never pasted any bookplates into any of my books. Personally I beleive that devalues the books. I too am a huge fan of bibliophile stuff. I have a couple of lenses on antiquarian books & authors. Very Nice Lens. Blessed by the reading lists angel.

    Great Lens, thanks for the good info!
    I would like to give you a link to some bookmarks I made to download free:

    I'll be making some bookplates soon too.
  • Philippians468 Apr 13, 2011 @ 1:12 am | delete
    i'm alright with any bookmark that is thin, no corner folding please! cheers

    As a dressmaker, there are always lots of scraps of fabric around. Cut into bookmark size, fabric pieces make for a colourful bookshelf if you leave at least one in each book.
  • Gloriousconfusion Feb 14, 2011 @ 5:19 pm | delete
    I have a packet of beautiful Ex Libris bookplates, but I hate to stick things in books as, being a book collector, I think it reduces their value as collectors' items, although if they are not particularly valuable, and not first editions, it probably doesn't matter. I have a collection of several bookmarks, which I always use, as I hate seeing a book laid open and face-down - sacrilege!

    Wonderful lens! I usually tear off a chunk of paper from my scrap pile since mine bookmarks always seem to disappear. However, you have some very nice designs I might have to try! Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

    I am definitely a book person. Received two books for Christmas and a gift certificate to a bookstore. I've also got one book on its way from Amazon. I'm currently reading six. I love Book Plates, though I frequently use a paper clip for a bookmark. Thanks for this page!

    Great lens. I love books and often read several different ones at one time. Bookmarks are a must. You have a nice selection.
  • marsha32 Dec 11, 2010 @ 10:49 am | delete
    I often print bookmarks (and sell them, use them for gifts, and list them on listia)...I print them on cardstock and then cover them with the laminate. I see familiar websites, plus a lot of new ones. I love the idea of using old greeting card! I hadn't even thought of that!

    What a fun idea, I can see kids creating bookmarks and book plates with some of these free resources to give as Christmas gifts. The ex libris book plate is wonderful too.
  • SofiaMann Oct 15, 2010 @ 10:16 pm | delete
    Very beautiful Bookmarks. Congratulations.
  • Bradshaw Sep 21, 2010 @ 8:34 am | delete
    Nice lens. I always use a bookmark and usually find something simple, but when I spot a really cool one I snap it up quick. I always seem to misplace them, but of course if I went through all my old books I would no doubt find quite a collection lol.
  • Laddoo Sep 15, 2010 @ 7:31 am | delete
    I love bookmarks. Keep misplacing them though. This is a wonderful lens.
  • martialartstraining Jul 21, 2010 @ 2:06 pm | delete
    Wonderful lens, I have always been careful with my books but i have to admit that my usual bookmark is only a receipt or paper scrap.

    I need to label new hymnals donated in memory or in honor of loved ones/friends. I am hoping to find printable labels that can be merged with my list of donors and printed on an ink jet printer. Anyone had any experience with such? Ideas welcome.

    Wonderfully done! Blessed by an angel!

    Nice bookmark & bookplate collections. I normally put on a piece of paper to save a page in a book but seeing the beautiful designs on this lens, I might print a few. Rated 5*

    Hope you could visit my lenses and become a fan of my fb page. Thanks
  • Mickie_G Oct 7, 2009 @ 5:30 pm | delete
    What a wonderful article! I usually forget and leave a bookmark in the book when I return it to the library! So, your designs would be a wonderful surprise for the next reader!

    Lensrolling to my Book Repair lens! Yes, bookmarks would save a spine or two!

    What a great collection of book-related items! I am guilty of not treating my books better too. Thanks for the reminder!

    Great collection! I love the set of painted wooden bookmarks in the carry case. Lensrolled to The Reader's Shop: T-shirts, Book Bags, Gifts for Book Lovers.

    Excellent lens. Very interesting information. As a matter of fact I print my own bookmarks for myself, my wife and daughter. 5***** Thanks.

  • KaraLynnRussell Jul 2, 2009 @ 10:19 pm | delete
    Great lens! I'm a librarian and I think I will print out some of these for kids to make at my library. My own kids know that the quickest way to irritate me is to leave their books laying open, face down. Or almost as bad, dog ear the pages.

    I have a large collection of r bookmarks myself. Any ideas on displaying booksmarks?
  • Wysiwigs Jun 25, 2009 @ 1:08 pm | delete
    What a fun collection of ideas! I use address labels sometimes on books and videos (if I'm in a hurry to lend it :o) otherwise I print my own. Great lens.

    Wow these are beautiful and I learned all kinds of new information. I am going to favorite this one and come back often.

    Great idea for a lens! I love unique bookmarks.
  • Treasures-By-Brenda May 14, 2009 @ 8:48 pm | delete
    My favorite bookmark is one we don't use. One year, we gave all the grandparents bookmarks made simply and in a low-tech fashion. We cut out pictures of our children, stuck them on construction paper and covered them with clear mactac. They were treasured by the Grandparents. Now some of them have come back and I am afraid I might lose them if I actually put them in a book so...I have them on my mirror.

    Nicely done lens; blessed by Brenda.
  • Gillie2tat May 12, 2009 @ 2:10 am | delete
    I often use the nearest piece of paper as a bookmark - yesterday it was a shopping receipt! Great lens and thank you for some lovely ideas.

    What a great lens! Very interesting and well done :) Lots of great links. I will lensroll it in my Bookmarks / Book Thongs lens.

    I have many bookmarks and bookplates that were given to me as gifts. I also love my clip-on book light. Great for late-night reading. Terrific job on the lens... I'm featuring it on my Squid Angel Diary this week.

    I double task in the bathroom and use TP to mark all the important pages and where I'm reading.
