Comments on: review: book darts http://fadetheory.com/?p=163 The habit of reading is the only enjoyment in which there is no alloy; it lasts when all other pleasures fade. ~ Anthony Trollope Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:19:45 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Rhonda http://fadetheory.com/?p=163&cpage=1#comment-434181 Rhonda Fri, 14 Dec 2007 01:57:58 +0000 http://fadetheory.com/?p=163#comment-434181 What a great opportunity to 'crow' about Book Darts. But first, let me sound off about Melissa Jay Craig's art sculptures! Obviously a lover of books and ingenuous play on words using "paper" sources for book sculptures. Fabulous! Now, to Book Darts -- I love them, love them, and really love their company's customer service, attention to detail, speedy service, and never-compromised quality control. Please consider ordering some of the tins and having their labels imprinted with a personal message of yours -- a favorite quote, general greeting, To and/or From for gift-giving, etc. I have been receiving the tins for my own use (recently, one book had close to 100 darts marking important passages -- a record for me!) for the past 5 years and have them imprinted with a generic greeting of "For a Dear Heart and Gentle Soul." Most bookophiles associate with like 'ophiles' and I have found many opportunities to gift with a tin. Many have never seen them, but fast become adorees of the little devils. I started with a cellophane envelope of 15 over 10 years ago and now have graduated to tins of 100. The pricing is reasonable, their usages unlimited, and they keep well, too -- no spoilage -- plus, the tins are adorable (hope that word adorable doesn't turn anyone off, but really they are precious). The tins make great gifts with a new/used book I am often passing to someone. They also acknowledge the receiver's love of reading so well that I can see a visible change come over them when they see the tin and recognize how kind they will be to the pages. Wow, I've gone on a lot longer than I intended. Book Darts Rock! What a great opportunity to ‘crow’ about Book Darts. But first, let me sound off about Melissa Jay Craig’s art sculptures!

Have for years. I have never had the luxury of being able to read a book once and then leave it, and I can't imagine how I would keep track of all of my current reading and research projects without Book Darts. I'm a veritable devotee of this product. Every time I look at my battered old tin (which I refill, and refill, and refill), my heart dances just a little. Call it silly, but I like it.

My friends love them and I hope we are promoting more of them into the local stores. Love book darts and especially enjoy putting the plastic strip of book darts into a book I am giving as a gift.
