This bookmark employs suitable conventional permanent attachment methods, such as sewing or gluing, or temporary means, such as VELCRO(R) hook and loop pads, a resilient metal or plastic clip or an adhesive-backed tab, to secure one end of an elongated support element of string, thread, filament or ribbon to the spine, cover or page of a book near its upper edge. A spreader, for example, a button, bead, block, strip or other convenient object of suitable form and thickness is tied, sewn, glued, or otherwise secured to the other end of the support element. The support element is sized to position the spreader from about ¼ of an inch to about 2 inches from the lower edge of the pages when the spreader is inserted between selected adjacent pages of the book and allowed to hang freely. When the book is closed, the spreader forces the adjacent pages apart to provide a well-defined opening at the page's lower edges thereby not only clearly showing the reader the selected place in the book, but also providing him or her means for readily opening the book at that place.
