someone had the idea of bookmarks which are also thin books for taking notes while reading. i can see this as a useful idea for my large SketchBook conundrum. the book itself is perhas too large to take around but a series of small bookmarkers where ideas are jotted down to be elaborated upon later at larer size and with more time.
