Ok, that cat page holder is cool - and it would be so useful in the kitchen and in bed at night. The transparent page is brilliant - I don't think I'd use it as much as the cat, because I'm not a note-taker, but I know so many people who'd like that and use the heck out of it. :)
And who doesn't need more bookshelves???
Great post - surprises coming you say? Hmmm.... :)
Great post! The cat page holder is awesome. As is the transparent page, though I would not use it...I prefer a scribble in the book (ok, give me that disdainful look if you like...). As for the shelf, it is cute but doesn't look like it is tough enough books.
Oh yes, the space issue is a problem in book lover's life. Maybe we should think of a shelf that's coming down from a ceiling -- that's some extra space that can be used ;-)

I've contemplated that actually. No great feats of engineering yet though.
I always need more shelves, but Lora's got a valid point about wall space. I have the wall space above my book cases (super high ceilings) but to put shelves up there I'd need them to be much longer and deeper. And anchored into the plaster. I grew up with drywall, so I don't do DIY that involves my plaster walls. :D
No, leave plaster walls alone! (Experience from my grandparents' house. They used suspension wires to hang pictures for a reason - don't mess with plaster walls.)
I like the cat, but since I prefer paperbacks above all, I don't think it'd do much for me. I've found that most such items will hold the top or bottom of the book open only, so my pages end up in a vee, if it works at all.
I can't tell if the cat holder is weighted; it seems to be made of plastic. Don't think I'd use that. The note pages are absolutely the best, especially in different sizes.

Always need new bookshelves too, although I'd wait on those just to see. Best is to have Booklikes back and functional, y'know! :-)
