| Just discovered a striking range of bookmarks produced by the Library of Congress (USA). I don't yet have any of them in my collection but I have enjoyed viewing them online. My favourite is the one I have featured here. On its website, the Library of Congress says that.... This bookmark is a tribute to the Library's mission of collecting and sharing the wisdom of all civilizations. Thomas Jefferson's passionate quotation about books is featured on this bookmark. He made the statement in 1815 to his friend John Adams. Jefferson's connection to the Library of Congress can be traced to his personal library of more than 6,500 books eventually purchased by the government for the Library of Congress, following the war of 1812. Made of flexible metal and metallic print, with cord. Size: Appox. 4.5 inches in length. Price: $10.95 |  |
