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.

Japan: Disk Union (a chain of stores) offered you this 'gift' item when you bought something in their book shop in Autumn 2012. It is a 13,5 cm x 4,5 cm Bob Dylan bookmark, made from glossy thick card. The two pics are: Record Collector's Magazine, issue October 2012 and CD Tempest, Japanese limited edition (Sony SICP 3663). The bookmark was released seperate from the Tempest CDs, it's just a gift.
Thanks to Wil Gielen for the scan and information.

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."
