ribbonmarkers

Ribbon markers are a type of bookmark that incorporates a ribbon or satin strip. Typically, a ribbon marker is a flat strip of fabric, often made of silk, satin, or polyester, that is permanently attached to the spine of a book. One end of the ribbon hangs out from between the pages, allowing the reader to easily mark their current page. These are often found in hardcover books, particularly Bibles, journals, and higher-quality editions of literature. The ribbon is usually sewn or glued into the binding of the book during the manufacturing process. This provides a convenient and often elegant way to keep one's place without damaging the pages. The length and width of the ribbon can vary depending on the book's size and design. While primarily functional, ribbon markers can also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of a book, adding a touch of luxury or a decorative element. Their primary purpose is to serve as a bookmark that is integrated into the book itself, ensuring it is always readily available to the reader.
