Can I even trust you if none of your books have folded over receipts for bookmarks?

I feel like we need some *innocuous* bookish drama to distract us from the other horrors.

Whaddya got?

If you wanted me to use receipts, why did you give me so many free bookmarks? 😅

Look, I know I said receipts were top tier, but so are our bookmarks. Because they’re all designed by our talented booksellers. What you have is a treasure trove that will be worth something some day.

lol this is how I am with bookmarks from Camino Books when it was still Diesel. I have sooooo many that I started saying no when they ask if I want one 🤣

Crumpled, they make great cat toys. (Bonus: will keep the cat from sitting on the book you are reading for minutes at a time.)

This is important information, thank you for sharing.

EXCEPT: almost all bookstore (and all store) receipts are still thermal printed and something like 80% contain BPA and BPS, so.........maybe not. (when recipes came on carbon paper handwritten pads, yes. today, not so much)

😔 not as innocuous an opinion as I thought. *puts on gloves *

(I really *didn't* want to be a buzz kill about your sweet idea/opinion, but I *did* want to do a PSA about the issue if you didn't know. Sorry, sorry!)

Don’t apologize! It was supposed to inspire disagreement, per the rules of the original post.

daemonaac.bsky.social•10 days ago

I was more apologizing for telling you a horrible new fact when there is so much *handwaves everything*

I know that some receipt paper processes have reduced/eliminated the issue - but alas, not which ones.Looks like a research project.
