Not just the original Page Point. Way more than a book mark! Answers the question: "How can we mark our exact passages, find them again, quickly and surely, and never harm the page?"

Eliminate: Bent corners, Paper clips, Underlining, Highlighting, "Sticky Papers" (and sticky pages).

"Elegant enough for great museum shops, book friendly enough for many public library stores, often judged indispensible by students, educators, and other readers of what has lasting value."

"None of us will ever read all the good stuff; we‘ll never even notice all that‘s good in what we do read. So, we need each other to help us unlock more of the treasures our books contain."
Book Darts Philosophy of Education
and "The way a book is read-which is to say, the qualities a reader brings to a book-can have as much to do with its worth as anything the author puts into it....Anyone who can read can learn how to read more deeply and thus live more fully." Norman Cousins

BOOKMARKS--
Page Markers or Linemarkers?
To get back to where we closed our book, readers have used a variety of means.

A ribbon attached (glued, sewn) to the binding is pretty classy, though now rare. They are a bit of an expense for publishers and never seen in paper back books.
There is a thriving industry which markets visually pleasing rectangles of paper, often with inspirational or educational quotations.
Companies, such as Antioch of Ohio, have created a huge variety and are adding to them constantly.

Pat Wagner, in her excellent book, A Booklover‘s Guide, has called us "my favorite bookmark among the many kinds I tested," but I submit that we are more a line keeper than a bookmark, even though we serve to mark the exact line reading ended.
I have a good friend, Steve Kosokoff, a retired professor from Portland State, who owns only a single Book Dart at any time which he uses as a bookmark in each of his books as he reads them serially. He once gave me a piece of paper filled back and front with the names of books he had read using his lone Dart. He had lost his Dart on an airplane and needed another, he said. When I gave him a pack of 12, he removed one which he kept, thanked me and returned the other 11 to me.
But he is unusual.

More in the majority, I think, is Heath Rezabek, a brilliant librarian from Denver, who called Book Darts, "too labor intensive to be used as a book mark and said, "as long as I looked at them as bookmarks, I was unable to see their use...they were made to be line-markers rather than page markers...non-damaging annotation devices."

A rule for anything you would call a "bookmark" in the traditional sense, whether you emphasize the page marking or the line marking function, is: they cannot harm the page. That is, once removed, they must not leave a trace, and by this standard, Book Darts can be called "bookmarks.
Speaking personally, the best bookmark for me is a bus transfer; it is thin, soft, has traction and is free.
We save our Book Darts for the lines in any reading worth going back to.

There are millions of readers who are unfamiliar with our line keepers/personal quotation savers. Quite a few of these readers were excited enough when they discovered the Darts to call us "indispensable" and even, in the words of one customer, "the greatest thing since pockets on shirts."

We are a book tool which meets a need (the need to recall reading discoveries quickly and surely, in cook books, spiritual reading, poetry, manuals and handbooks, etc.), and we do this in a unique way (without hurting the page).
My students said that we should say, "For the first time in the history of reading, you can mark your exact lines, be sure to find them again fast, and never hurt the book." I would add the word "perhaps" to this, but I can think of no exception so far.



So, we are a tool to make sharing reading discoveries easier and more likely, to make it possible to re-locate valuable passages quickly and easilly so they can be re-pondered.

In short, Book Darts are a memory aid, a means to help you remember what you read, the good parts.
We hope you enjoy using them and through using them, enjoy the interactions you have with fellow readers.
