I keep it in my purse and have had it for 3 or 4 years--but then I couldn't tell you the author it was promoting. Coasters work well for me too--again, something I can use but I don't think they actually sell books.Robin Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262933225938609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-22786279833793846692011-11-17T09:36:16.159-06:002011-11-17T09:36:16.159-06:00I love pens and note pads.

But I have some book buddies who go crazy over the bookmarks and trading cards. *shrug* so, I guess it depends on the person.
