In 2021-2022, across a few orders, I purchased several hundred 1980’s era vintage bookmarks from an eBay seller, and there were many gems among them, including this curious one. It’s the first time I have come across a bookmark collector using a bookmark to promote his looking for bookmarks! Very nifty! Thanks to the International Friends of Bookmarks, I found out that Joe Stephenson founded the The Bookmark Society (Britain) in 1991. In 2004, (when a newspaper article was written about Joe and his collecting, he had been collecting bookmarks for about 15 years, and had between 30,000 and 40,000 in 200 albums at his home in Victoria Road, Horwich, England. Happy bookmark collecting Joe! |
