Abookmarkis a thin marker, commonly made ofcard,leather, orfabric, used to keep a reader's place in abookand to enable them to easily return to it. According to new results of the research done on the history of bookmarks, there are indications that bookmarks have accompanied codices since their first emergence in the 1st century AD. The earliest existing bookmark dates from the 6th century AD and it is made of ornamented leather lined with vellum on the back and was attached with a leather strap to the cover of a Coptic codex. Bookmarks were used throughout the medieval period,consisting usually of a small parchment strip attached to the edge offolio(or a piece of cord attached to headband). The first detached, and therefore collectible, bookmarkers began to appear in the 1850s. One of the first references to these is found in Mary Russell Mitford'sRecollections of a Literary Life(1852. Historical bookmarks can be very valuable, and are sometimes collected along with other paperephemera. By the 1860s, attractive machine-woven markers were being manufactured. One of the earliest was produced by J.&J. Cash to mark thedeathofAlbert, Prince Consort, in 1861. Thomas Stevens of Coventry soon became preeminent in the field and claimed to have nine hundred different designs. Woven silk bookmarks were very appreciated gifts in theVictorian Eraand Stevens seemed to make one for every occasion and celebration. By the 1880s the production of woven silk markers was declining, and printed markers made of stiff paper or cardboard began to appear in significant numbers. This development paralleled the wider availability of books themselves, and the range of available bookmarkers soon expanded dramatically. Modern bookmarks are available in a huge variety of materials in a multitude of designs and styles. Many are made of cardboard or heavy paper, but they are also constructed of paper, ribbon, fabric, felt, steel, wire, tin, beads, wood, plastic, vinyl, silver, gold, and other precious metals, some decorated with gemstones.

The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Lucinda Franks' "My Father's Secret War: A Memoir". Published to enormous critical acclaim by such figures as Elie Wiesel, Joyce Carol Oates, Susan Cheever, and Patricia Bosworth, great memoir-writers all. Lucinda Franks is an award-winning writer who is married to Robert Morgenthau, the New York County District Attorney. When her father was diagnosed with and realized that he was slipping into incurable dementia, he decided to tell his daughter everything about the part of his life he had kept hidden from everyone, especially his own family. Lucinda Franks knew little about her father's activities during the Second World War so she never suspected his simply stunning revelation: He was a spy who risked his life behind enemy lines, in the guise of an utterly convincing SS Officer, who was nevertheless vulnerable and could have been caught if he ever let his guard down even once. Hence his lifelong secretiveness. As an SS Officer, he was among the very first Americans to see the Nazi concentration camps, a horrifying discovery that he could not prevent, which made him bitter about himself and humanity for the rest of his life. His bitterness essentially destroyed his relations with his family, an estrangement that was belatedly healed by his heartbreaking story, revealed just before they lost him again, this time for good, to madness. A journalist by profession, Lucinda Franks presents military intelligence records and documentation that verify his profoundly personal account but could never render justice to the suffering he endured all his life. The result is a book that is "worthy of Graham Greene" (Joyce Carol Oates). "This is the real story of The Greatest Generation, adding immeasurably to our understanding of who our fathers were and what they survived. It should be read by everyone who cares about history, not the history of textbooks, but the history of what really happened to the men who lived it" (Susan Cheever).
