These two bookmarks are lovely graphical design and subject - reading while walking the dog and reading while dancing / romancing.

The bookmarks are c. 1980s.  The top red square is a flap which opens to put over your book page to keep your place.  The text underneath (all non-capitalised text) is:

The library, ltd. has: 
books for nature-lovers,
books for children,
books for couples in love,
​books for sports buffs,
books for artists,
books for all sorts of people.

The Library, Ltd. Bookstore opened in 1970.  It was the largest independently-owned book store in St. Louis before its sale in 1997 to Borders.  The store was huge: 2 floors full of large, open rooms of books. Each room contained places to sit and read everything from obscure title to best seller. The children's section had a castle you could walk through with funhouse mirrors on the inside. To get into it you crossed a bridge over a moat of goldfish.
