Dangerously Deceptive Bookmarks

These Clever Bookmarks Will Save Your Place and Scare Your Family

These deadly bookmarks are a sure fire way to show everyone you take literature seriously.

Called the Armed Bookmarks, these weapons of mass literature come in two different designs and are brass coated with paint. The first design is of a dagger with a plant vine—complete with thorns and small leaves—crisscrossing up and down the blade of the knife and the second bookmark is a handgun with a fully bloomed flower coming out of the barrel.

With the constant talk about how our society is no longer consuming physical media and is instead consuming them digitally thanks to devices like the iPad and the Kindle, it's easy forget that we lose simple things—like these bookmarks—in the process.
