The Leather Bookmark Club The club was started in 1989 and has members from UK so far. They welcome members from all over the world, and membership is free. The intention is to promote the collection of leather or leather board bookmarks from any part of the world. The members collect all types, cities, towns, places of interest, attractions, events, charities and organisations. They run a free "swapping" service for all collectors. The club members are interested in purchasing any type of leather or leather board bookmark, both new and old, providing they are in reasonable condition. Manufacturers who have several runs might consider putting a sample to one side and allowing them to purchase the different designs when they have a batch. They purchase the odd one or two or complete collections. These go into swap banks and eventually all find a home with genuine collectors. Contact address: Mr R J Hart 33 Thurston Avenue Southend-on-Sea Essex SS2 4UJ - England UK All enquires to the above address or e-mail Info@LeatherBookmarks.co.uk www.leatherbookmarks.co.uk |
