Abstract: A bookmark which will hold its place in a book and holds the book in a closed position. This is accomplished by attaching an elastic cord or band to the top of the bookmark at a position spaced apart from the binding. When the elastic cord or band is positioned for storage of the book the band encircles the covers of the book and causes the body of the bookmark to be biased against the binding of the book. When reading of the book is again desired the bookmark is held in place by grasping the book near the binding with the fingers and removing the elastic strap or cord attached to the book mark. The specific structure of the instant invention allows ease of removal of the elastic strap holding the book covers closed without having the bookmark fall out of the book while attempting such removal.
