A propos de cet article

Format is approximately 6.5 inches by 2.5 inches. Picture of the front cover of There's No Place Like Here on the front of the bookmark; on the back of the bookmark there are full-color pictures of three other books by Cecelia Ahern. Cecelia Ahern (born 30 September 1981) is an Irish novelist known for her works like PS, I Love You,There's No Place Like Here, Where Rainbows End and If You Could See Me Now. Born in Dublin, Ahern is now published in nearly fifty countries, and has sold over 25 million copies of her novels worldwide. Two of her books have been adapted as major motion films. She and her books have won numerous awards, including the Irish Book Award for Popular Fiction for The Year I Met You. She has published several novels and contributed a number of short stories to various anthologies. Ahern also created and produced the ABC comedy Samantha Who? starring Christina Applegate. A Place Called Here is Irish writer Cecelia Ahern's fourth novel. The book was entitled "There's No Place Like Here" in the United States. Sandy Shortt has been obsessed with finding things which have been lost, since her childhood rival Jenny-May Butler went missing. Having worked for the Garda, the police force of Ireland, she left her job to start an agency which looks for missing people. A man named Jack Ruttle asks Sandy for help looking for his younger brother Donal, who went missing the year before. She agrees, never expecting to become missing herself as she discovers the world where everything which has ever been lost goes to, a place called Here. Abookmarkis a thin marker, commonly made ofcard,leather, orfabric, used to keep a reader's place in abookand to enable them to easily return to it. According to new results of the research done on the history of bookmarks, there are indications that bookmarks have accompanied codices since their first emergence in the 1st century AD. The earliest existing bookmark dates from the 6th century AD and it is made of ornamented leather lined with vellum on the back and was attached with a leather strap to the cover of a Coptic codex. Bookmarks were used throughout the medieval period,consisting usually of a small parchment strip attached to the edge offolio(or a piece of cord attached to headband). The first detached, and therefore collectible, bookmarkers began to appear in the 1850s. One of the first references to these is found in Mary Russell Mitford'sRecollections of a Literary Life(1852. Historical bookmarks can be very valuable, and are sometimes collected along with other paperephemera. By the 1860s, attractive machine-woven markers were being manufactured. One of the earliest was produced by J.&J. Cash to mark thedeathofAlbert, Prince Consort, in 1861. Thomas Stevens of Coventry soon became preeminent in the field and claimed to have nine hundred different designs. Woven silk bookmarks were very appreciated gifts in theVictorian Eraand Stevens seemed to make one for every occasion and celebration. By the 1880s the production of woven silk markers was declining, and printed markers made of stiff paper or cardboard began to appear in significant numbers. This development paralleled the wider availability of books themselves, and the range of available bookmarkers soon expanded dramatically. Modern bookmarks are available in a huge variety of materials in a multitude of designs and styles. Many are made of cardboard or heavy paper, but they are also constructed of paper, ribbon, fabric, felt, steel, wire, tin, beads, wood, plastic, vinyl, silver, gold, and other precious metals, some decorated with gemstones.…
