This has all made me think of a phone call I received from my eighteen-year-old son at the beginning of the year, when he first left home to undertake his flight course...
He'd almost finished The Golden Fool and so I'd sent him my awfully banged up copy of Fool's Fate in the mail with numerous bookmarks and dog-ears still sitting in key locations. A couple of weeks later he gratefully rang to thank me for the extra $50 note I'd so thoughtfully slipped within the pages for him...
...I wept, and that became HIS new favourite bookmark.
Moral of the story: Check your book for bookmarks you've made from currency BEFORE you lend it to someone!
