Quick answer
Use your Eye of the Ocean bookmark the same way you would any fine bookmark: place it between pages to mark your spot. But because it's a collectible letterpress piece, you'll want to handle it with care and consider using it as a display item too.
Why This Bookmark Is Different
The Eye of the Ocean Vol1 bookmark is printed with letterpress in metallic gold and silver, making it more delicate than a standard paper bookmark. Its 15x4cm size fits most books, but the metallic inks can smudge or scratch if rubbed against rough paper or stored loosely.
Because it was created for the Eye of the Ocean novel and puzzle, it has a specific aesthetic purpose. You may want to keep it in good condition for display or future resale value, which influences how you use it.
How to use your Eye of the Ocean bookmark
- 1. Choose a clean, dry book: Open your book and slide the bookmark between pages at your stopping point. Avoid placing it near the spine where pressure could crease the card. Don't use it in a book with rough or textured paper—metallic ink can transfer.
- 2. Store it separately when not in use: When you finish reading, remove the bookmark and store it flat in a protective sleeve or inside the book's cover. Avoid leaving it loose in a bag where coins or keys can scratch it. Keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve the metallic finish.
- 3. Consider display instead of daily use: If you collect Stockholm17 items, you might prefer to display this bookmark in a frame or on a shelf rather than using it daily. It works well as a decorative accent near your reading area. For heavy readers, a plain paper bookmark is a safer daily choice.
