Space-saving it's not, but the book hook is a rather more attention-grabbing alternative to the modest bookmark.
 
"The classic paper stripe as a bookmark has always been a temporary solution for me," said Tell Ritterbach, designer. "Because I like to leave my books open I got the idea of a whole new concept.

"I wanted something better. Something, whose shape similars the shape of the opened book, like a negative to the positive and prevents it from damages. With that the idea of book hook was born. With my first sketches I let it produce as a prototype. After more improvement with regard to the material, angle and edge devolution was a marketable product of high-quality produced." (Translated from the original German)

 

The book hook is available in beech, birch and oak for 30 euros from Connox.

Isn't it neat? So simple, but I've not seen anything like it. :)
