3.0 out of 5 stars Leaves black marks on book pages, November 16, 2007

By	Book Lover (California) - See all my reviews

Although this bookweight does the job and I was initially pleased with it, I soon found that the edge of the leather is stained black and the stain leaves the book pages with black marks that can't be removed. Merely picking the bookweight up and moving it to a new page causes marks and if you slide the bookweight down the page, you will have a lot of marks. I am contacting the company to see if they make a version with no stain.

Feb. 2008 - As an update to this review, three emails to the company went unanswered as did a phone call, thus negating the chance that I will order anything else from them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well, but be careful..., December 16, 2007

By	Pen Name: - See all my reviews

This bookmark is heavy and long, making it perfect to hold down pages so that you can read a book hands-free. This is very useful when taking notes from a book when the book doesn't want to stay open by itself. However, there is black dye or paint on the edge of the bookmark and it rubs off leaving small marks on pages when you pick it up or put it down or slide it back and forth. To avoid this, I turn the bookmark upside-down so the black edge doesn't touch. It's not a big deal to me, and I believe the bookmark is worth purchasing despite this drawback, but it would be nice if they offered this bookmark without the black edge.

This product works well for hands free reading. It is especially good for heavy books that are hard to keep open. This product is for you if you have arthritic hands.
