I don't give a shit

>>17325658
read it all at once then

>>17325658
I use a playing card, or if the book has very thing pages, I piece of A4 paper as a bookmark. I feel that most bookmarks are too thick and will distort the pages over time. t. autist

>>17325658
Get a bookmark from Mitercraft and thank me later.

>>17325658
I've never got a bookmark from amazon. This is bullshit.

>>17325658
What? They ship with bookmarks?

>amazon ships the wrong book
>doesn't take returns

amazon shipped my book with the cover folded in half

>receive a book
>It has a step by step guide on How to make a bomb scribbled by pencil on the last page

>>17327769
cuute, ty anon

amazon shipped my bookmark without a book

>>17327974
I'm sorry, Anon.

once i got a book with a picture of two girls in it

>>17328012
Glad I could help!

>>17325658
Fuck amazon, order from book depository in us or blackwell in uk. They always give tons of bookmarks. This is the last "new" book I ordered from amazon.

>>17325658
Then you must find Jeff Bezos and beat him.

>>17327974
my sincere condolences

>>17325658
just use a small piece of paper, about 10x5cm in size

>>17327974
I had one (oxford Bacchae) from Amazon where the cover was a half inch larger than the other pages, but bent to even them out. So there's two nice big creases right down the middle through the cute little twink's face.

>>17328284
It was Process and Reality. Were it not for /lit/ I could have continued in my Whitehead-free uncreased bliss.

>>17328105
In the US, Blackwell's is often cheaper than both Amazon and bookshop. They ship free to the US somehow. Usually takes me like 12 days to get a book though

just use a chinese bootleg yu gi oh card

>>17325658
Best bookmark is a post it note. You can stick it where you want it to mark a stopping point and it never falls out.

>>17327956
file this under shit that didn't happen. you really expect me to believe Amazon sent you the wrong book and would allow you to return it? quit making up drama ya fuckin schizo

i once had this hard pap cardboard that would look like a bookmark. stop the lights.

>>17328105
lol yep, I have a fucking boatload of blackwell bookmarks at this point they must be swimming in them to give so many away

>>17328594
hes technically right, they wont accept returns. instead they just give you your money back and let you keep the book. you can abuse the system like this once and amazon will let you get away with it. i did it on a $1000 laptop, said it was stolen off my porch. they sent a new one free of charg.e

>>17328293
You can still look up Caravaggio's paintings and fap to them anytime anon

>>17327769

which one should i get?

>>17328695
I did this with a computer monitor. ordered one, claimed it arrived with stuck pixels/lines across the screen. got another one free of charge and they let me keep the old so I just sold it. they would rather get scammed every once in a while than put in the effort to weed out the fake claims.

>>17328747
I'm not sure I can tell you anything about them that's not obvious from the website. That said, I have this one and think it's quite charming.

>>17328751
are you serious dude. I just had a defective router from them and they made me return it.

on the other hand, I tried to return a bottle of whiskey when they brought the wrong one. they refunded and let me keep it.

pap is tasty.
pap is nice.
pap makes up for a bookmark.
& you dont have to think twice.

>>17325658
You really don't already cut strips of paper from the A24 zine and laminate them?

>>17328780

ive had it with bookmarks.
>stoic

I once found this in a University copy of Faust. Unrelated, I was only there to *borrow* books.

>>17327769
based but too expensive. I'd pay half that price for a bookmark.

poets only use book marks expensively.
a book in full flight is zen to a funeral.

a phone is as good as a bookmark.
blues clues just say the book is open on that page anyway.

suppose a goat would consider god a bookmarc.
and a stamp german. watery physics

>>17329404
That's sweet.

lets take for example milk.
the cartoon is a book...marc

>>17328105
bookdepository is owned by amazon btw

>>17328701

>havent read in years
>forgot bookmarks exist
>try to member page number
>can't because drinking habit
>use bottle cap from beer I drank last weekend as bookmark

I'm used to getting bookmarks with my books because I usually order from BD or some smaller book store chain, thought amazon would do the same but haha fuck no

>tfw you find the page you were on without the use of a bookmark

I just dog-ear all my shit. And yeah, I do donate those dog-eared books to the library when I'm done with 'em.
It makes me happy when I come across a dog-ear crease someone else has made in a book; someone else out there in the universe was having a good enough time reading the same thing that they had to mark their place, and they're not so prissy as to worry about "muh virgin pages" or whatever. Give me some skanky dog-eared book that's been around the block a few times any day; I appreciate the reminder that some people out there still enjoy reading just as much as I do.

To each their own, but I prefer to try and keep my possessions in good quality, regardless of whether it is a book or some other thing. Plus, I’m the person who posted the Seinfeld bookmark, so I like to use bookmarks as part of my personality :)

Just rip out one of the empty pages at the end of the book and fold it into bookmark shape. It's not like it serves a purpose so you're not ruining the book in any real way.

I got you homie.

>>17325658
include a cheap deck of cards in your next order. 52+ cheap bookmarks are waiting for you

>>17331885
Which card should I use? Too many options.

>>17331882
bitches love custom shit

>>17331898
Custom shit? I am sorry, I don't talk to too many niggers so my grasp of ebonics is more or less non-existent.

>economics in one lesson
based prime

>e-reader saves place on its own

this is why I use book depository

>>17327974
This shit always happens whenever I order a book + anything that isn't book shaped. They just throw it all in the box with no protection.

I kept taking these clear little 6 inch plastic rulers from my uni. Real great bookmarks. I underline and annotate a lot when I read, so they're perfect for me.

Deserved for reading Hazlitt

There's something about this comment that made me real sad for the future.
A man asking another man what deck of cheap cards he should buy to use for something as trivial as a bookmark.
A nice glimpse into the utter chaos that is mass-consumer culture, where the simple desire to get a deck of cards of fraught with information overload.
It's like the depressing feeling you have late at night when you're browsing through all the selections on Netflix, yearning for some escapism, but you just can't decide on what to watch, so you browse and browse until you're too tired to stay up to watch the movie.

the supply of culture has vastly outproduced the demand
