Inaugural 2024 edition!
Now closed! I’ve hit the limit-of-my-feasibility point. If you are late to the party and really, really want to participate, please email me.
I’m creating this page to consolidate information that I’ve initially floated on MetaFilter and also to have a place to invite friends as well!
The idea is simple:
- Mail me 5 (with a couple of extras at your discretion, see below) bookmarks from local bookstores or libraries or “booky places” (comic shops, board game stores, literature festivals) by the end of July, 2024
- They can all be the same, if you just have one local bookstore or library! Mixing things up will be my job.
- Fill out the form below to let me know you’re on board.
- I’ll wait until the end of August to make sure all the stuff has arrived
- I’ll “remix” all the bookmarks and send 5 bookmarks back out to all participants.
Details:
I’m at
Matt Shepherd
49 Cherry St.
Kingston, Ontario
K7K 3W4
Canada
If you’re a MetaFilter user, please include your username with the bookmarks.
- If you don’t live in easy distance of any place with bookmarks and still want bookmarks, that’s why people are sending a few extras (see above). Happy to send you some bookmarks anyway.
- I’ll keep track of everyone privately so nobody sees anybody else’s mailing addresses, etc. Feel free to email me at matt@shep.ca if you want to confirm you’re on the list and/or that I’ve got your bookmarks and/or they’ve been sent back out or whatever.
- Participants obviously cover costs to mail bookmarks to me but I’ll pay for the envelopes and postage to send them back out.
- Please, just, like free, normal bookmarks. I only want to deal with standard lettermail and #10 envelopes. If your local record-store-book-store gives away bookmarks that are actually shards of shattered Donny & Marie 45s, that’s super cool and all, but I just want normal, paper-cardboard, fit-in-an envelope stuff.
