The bookmarks presented here are promotional or bonus items that usually came with a book, but not only: they were also made to promote an album, an event, a shop... There are also (see bottom of the page) some home-made bookmarks, made for fun or for $ale...
They are sorted in four categories: First the Books, then the Albums, the Special Events, the Shops, Others and the Home Made bookmarks...
Special thanks to Hanns-Peter Bushoff who sent a lot of bookmarks scans from his impressive collection.

Below: Holland, 2016. LIBRIS is a collaboration between several independent bookstores in Holland.
During 2016's gift season from mid November to late December customers - also online - got a free special gift with every purchase. To celebrate Dylan's Nobel Prize wining, it was a small bag with a Dylan quote from Lay Lady Lay: 'Whatever colors you have in your mind, I'll show them to you and you see them shine'.
The associated bookstores could draw attention to this action with a special bookmark, and individual stores could have their own name and address printed on it: there must be a lot of different ones existing.
Thank you to Hans Bosch for the images and explanations

Below: quotations, Italy 2015 (front and back):
Below: Set of Dylan quotes bookmarks, as decribed by the seller (Azeeda): "A charming set of three laser engraved bookmarks. The bookmarks are 191mm high by 45mm wide and come in a set of three. They are 1.5mm thick and are made out of a high quality birch plywood from sustainable sources.
Each of the bookmarks has a slightly different shaped 'top' for a little variation, although each have a hole to thread through some twine or rope. We recommend using Dette's 2mm Satin Rope; this is available in a range of beautiful colours.
Each bookmark is laser engraved and cut and so may have a delightful 'smoky wood' aroma on receipt - unfortunately, this will fade fairly quickly. You may choose to give the bookmarks a very light sanding / buffing to remove any signs of the laser engraving method but many people leave them untouched for that authentic look."
