Ask any person who loves to read how they would feel if someone returns a book they borrowed with folds like dog ears in page corners.
Horrible! That’s the answer you’ll get, and normally so because no one likes to get their favorite book defiled.

Recently, this friend of mine gave me a great suggestion. She told me why don’t I lend the bookmarks along with the books?
At least that ought to discourage the people borrowing them from ruining the pages with corner folds.

For bookworms, the importance of bookmarks is well-known. You find plenty of bookmarks in stores but as a book lover,
you want something that you can easily connect with every time you open a book – that’s personalized design.
What can you do if you really need one that gives you a personalized look and feel? One of the easiest things to do is create your own bookmark template.
Once you learn how to make a bookmark, you’ll realize that it’s a simple and easy process.
