ASIM maner award 2020

17/3/2021

4 Comments

 
On 25 February 2020, World Bookmark Day, I was delighted and thrilled to receive the news from Laine Farley of the International Friends of Bookmarks that I had been selected as the second Asim Maner Award winner, an annual award for promoting bookmarks.  I am honoured to receive this award in the name of the late Asim Maner, who was an avid bookmark collector, promoter of bookmark collecting and a manufacturer of unique and beautiful bookmarks. 

While I have been very tardy in writing this blog post, one year after receiving the award, I continue to cherish my award certificate and its accompanying letter, along with the fabulous bookmark prizes I received.  At the time of receiving these I thanked each person individually and privately for their generous donations.  With this blog post, I also now thank them publicly.  Thank you Laine Farley, Georg Hartong, Frank X. Roberts, Ana Matos, and Gaby Dondlinger.

Long live bookmarks, bookmark collecting and the promotion of both!

​- Debrah Gai Lewis

With a collection now of almost 40,000 bookmarks I would like to join the IFOB or at least be in touch with someone like Debrah. I am not great with the internet however and have no idea of Blog.
