ABSTRACT:
A bookmark (10) includes a head member (11) connected to an elongated, flexible tail member (13). Removable adhesive (12) is disposed on the head member for attaching the bookmark to the spine (15) of a book (16). The tail member is draped over the top of the book and positioned between two selected pages. A removable adhesive dot (14) disposed on the tail member allows it to be removably attached to one of the pages, thereby marking a specific piece of information and directing the attention of the reader thereto. In another embodiment, the head member (21) is U-shaped so that the title (27) of the book (26) is visible between the arms of the head. In yet another embodiment, the tail (55) includes several adhesive markers (56) that can each be independently attached to a different location on page. In still another embodiment, the tail (34) is separable along lines of perforations (33) into multiple tails (35) for marking different pages in the same book. In a further embodiment, the elongated tail (74) is formed of a wide, rectangular sheet folded in an accordion shape into a narrow strip, but can be unfolded for receiving a large volume of notes.
