Although e-readers are definitely becoming more and more prevalent in society, there are things that a real book can do that e-readers can't and that includes putting the Squashed Flat! Bookmark to use. This fun page marker adds a bit of playfulness to your reading activities.
Brought to you by 'I Want One Of These,' the Squashed Flat! Bookmark is priced at an affordable 7.49 pounds. Made out of silicone rubber, it takes the shape of a flattened body, which gives the illusion that the pages of your book are so heavy that they crushed your little helper.
Even funnier, 'I Want One Of These' has named the Squashed Flat! Bookmark 'Mark.' They further write, "Forget pressed flowers and old receipts--Mark is the future. And what else will he do now he’s dead?!"
