War & Peace - Film Promo Bookmark - c. 1956 by Market Print, Sydney, Australia
SOURCE:  Purchased

Love, love , love this classic vintage bookmark!  It's a joy having this one in my collection.  Serendipitously, I obtained it just after watching the fabulous film (on DVD) for the very first time!

War and Peace, released in 1956,  was the first English-language film version of the novel War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. It is an American/Italian production, directed by King Vidor and produced by Dino De Laurentiis and Carlo Ponti. The music score is by Nino Rota and the cinematography by Jack Cardiff. The film was made by Dino de Laurentiis Productions and distributed by Paramount Pictures.


The film stars Audrey Hepburn, Henry Fonda, and Mel Ferrer (the three pictured on the bookmark), along with Vittorio Gassman, Herbert Lom and Anita Ekberg, in one of her first breakthrough roles. It had Academy Awards nominations for Best Director (King Vidor), Best Cinematography, Color (Jack Cardiff) and Best Costume Design, Color (Maria De Matteis).

Audrey Hepburn played Natasha Rostova, Henry
Fonda played Count Pierre Bezukhov and Mel Ferrer played Prince Andrei Bolkonsky.

"Euro Deco" by Steven Heller and Louise Fili, Thames & Hudson, London (2004)
Art Deco design is one of my passions, including paper collectables such as bookmarks!  I recently borrowed a really great book from the library, "Euro Deco" by Steven Heller and Louise Fili, Thames & Hudson, London (2004) and was very excited to find that it had two pages (p.118 & p. 323) of bookmark reproductions in it; a series of fabulous advertising bookmarks.  Here they are for your viewing pleasure!  I particularly like the Spanish bookmark series and specifically the "Maderas de Oriente" one.  Superb!

library: an unquiet history

24/10/2015

I purchased this book from a second-hand shop recently and when I opened it up I found inside a handwritten note written on pretty paper. 

The note indicates that perhaps Cate gifted or loaned the book to someone else and wanted to express her thoughts about the book; her own mini-review. Anyway, I concur with her opinion... "Part inspiration - part reality check!"

I am leaving the note in the book and in fact I used it as a bookmark while I read the book.  How appropriate  methinks!

Always a thrill to find notes, inscriptions and other things inside books.  Interesting things anyway!

Just came upon this image on Pinterest.  A bookmark t-shirt!  Love it!  Whoever thought a bookmark could be called a "quitter strip"! :)

Anyway, I couldn't resist searching Google Images to see if there were any other bookmark t-shirts and discovered yes, lots of others, including a Zazzle site with many sayings and designs!  Check it out.

So not only can you collect bookmarks but you can collect t-shirts about bookmarks!

Inside a dog

Got this great bookmark recently from my local public library. 

The State Library of Victoria is one of the  sponsors / supporters of "Inside A Dog", a cool website for young people (teen readers) about books.

What do I love about this bookmark?

I love the dog graphic, the corner bitten off by the dog, the famous quote by Groucho Marx, and just the whole overall design and colours of the bookmark. 

This bookmark is now a Top 10 favourite in my collection!

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!
