Cheers, I hear you. And thanks for your service to public/borrowed books!

Listen, I think it's a savage practice to dog-ear pages. Even more so for a public library book. It doesn't make me happy, it makes me angry that the book's pages will have a that-much-shorter lifespan.

Solutions. Do you subscribe to any magazines at all? Have you ever seen the bountiful subscription cards that fall out? I consider those to be perfectly good emergency bookmarks.
