I used a variety of objects (i.e., boarding passes, fancy store-bought bookmarks, flowers) to bookmark my books, but after meeting my hubby my bookmarking habits changed.  Jason keeps his books in somewhat pristine condition and doesn't use bookmarks fearing that the bookmarks would ruin the binding of the books.  I'm glad I've been broken of this habit.  Apparently, many people forget their "bookmarks" in their books, give the books away and potentially lose something very valuable. 

AbeBooks.com has put together an interesting article on the things they have discovered inside books by AbeBooks.com booksellers.  You will not believe some of the strange and priceless things they found.
