Vancouver Review, Winter 2010/2011:

“Of all the things we may miss with the disappearance of the printed page as it yields to the Kindle, e-book or whatever electronic model the publishing world finally settles on, surely the custom bookmark has received little mention. Once found in fistfuls at bookstore counters over the last century, the bookmark now seems to exist mostly as a collector’s item or fetish object. In fact, last fall OCW Magazine had a show of custom bookmarks that, at the end of the day, served as art pieces, not unlike the trend some years back for people to frame their favourite vinyl record covers after CDs seemingly did the format in.
