I don't know.

Personally I use the receipt I got when I bought the book (or one from a different book).

I do dry press flowers & leaves in old books (mostly 19th century Bibles) but they're usually too fragile to be used as bookmarks. They're just nice to have.

Why would you need a bookmark?

Too much sinning, and a sinful world besides. And because indulgences keep my place for me.

this is what makes them perfect for books.
Imagine reading "Aspects of Nature - von Humboldt" and having this delicate flower to physically remind you of nature as you carefully move it in between the correct two pages.

Yeah, but they'd get ruined too quickly with use, no matter how delicately you handle them. I like having them old. I still have some from my childhood.

>I still have some from my childhood.
Yeah, ofc. I haven't thought about it too much.
probably would have to put them in plastic foil or somehow in thin paper, but all that would then loose why I would want a flower as a bookmark.

that's sweet. I have some too. A riverstone I found when I was 6. A chunk of bone I found when I was 7. A chunk of glass I found with my late uncle.

Cosmos, v. 2, coffee table version- for the next two or so weeks I'll be able to use freshly cut day lilies as bookmarks (as opposed to the rather bland yarrow I have been using)..

>> No.11187817

That sounds aesthetic and pure anon. I might adopt it.

For my bookmarks I typically use an old, incomplete set of Thoth tarot cards. I draw the card at random and lose it or add it back to the shrinking deck... whatever chance dictates and whatever I draw, I try to find those themes in the book and pay particular attention to them.
