Customer Reviews of Weighted Bookmark
Customer Review: Works well, but be careful...
Summary: 4 Stars
This bookmark is heavy and long, making it perfect to hold down pages so that you can read a book hands-free. This is very useful when taking notes from a book when the book doesn't want to stay open by itself. However, there is black dye or paint on the edge of the bookmark and it rubs off leaving small marks on pages when you pick it up or put it down or slide it back and forth. To avoid this, I turn the bookmark upside-down so the black edge doesn't touch. It's not a big deal to me, and I believe the bookmark is worth purchasing despite this drawback, but it would be nice if they offered this bookmark without the black edge.Customer Review: Leaves black marks on book pages
Summary: 3 Stars
Although this bookweight does the job and I was initially pleased with it, I soon found that the edge of the leather is stained black and the stain leaves the book pages with black marks that can't be removed. Merely picking the bookweight up and moving it to a new page causes marks and if you slide the bookweight down the page, you will have a lot of marks. I am contacting the company to see if they make a version with no stain.
Feb. 2008 - As an update to this review, three emails to the company went unanswered as did a phone call, thus negating the chance that I will order anything else from them.
Customer Review: Does The Trick
Summary: 5 Stars
As mentioned previously, these aren't too easy to find.
I bought three of them as I often have more than one book open at a time as I prepare sermons. Open the book - even big Bible commentaries - place this on top and forget about it.
Bookweight may seem a little stuff but will "break in" w/use. Even so, works great w/very first use.

It's a little rough around the edges, but not enough to not buy another one. Compared to $40 and $50 weights I've seen, this is a very good deal. My wife asked me to order her one now.
Customer Review: Strong, Reliable,
Summary: 5 Stars
Works great for keeping down pages and travels well in bag. The leather makes it very durable. I use all the time for a year now and still looks like new.
Just don't play around with it much because it hurts like a dickens if you hit the bad side of your hand with it.
