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!
