The Book Hook is a new kind of bookmark that flips the script on holding your page.
Most bookmarks are useful and simple, but can easily be lost when you're in transit or not paying attention. The Book Hook, on the other hand, would be hard to lose because it is as much a center piece or decorative home ornament as it is a bookmark.
The concept is simple: when you're taking a break from your book you just place it over the top of this triangular wooden book mark. The Book Hook comes from Tell Ritterbach and is available in beech, oak or birch wood. Part of the allure of this item is it ensures your book spine will stay in perfect working order while your page is held.
