     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
      A new type of bookmark. One in which you can not lose your place in a book. Other types of bookmarks fall out and this will not fall out. So if your book drops or closes you will still have your place marked.  
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
      This is an item made of a thin piece of elastic, then strung with beads or other items that will go along the outside of the binding of a book. Inside the elastic is smooth and takes no room. This was made to slip on your book to keep your place even if the book falls or closes by accident. It moves easily from page to page and there are many colors and styles to choose from. All items are made to stay on the outside of the binding of a book. The band is made of black, white, gold or silver elastic. Beads, charms, seashells, buttons etc. are all used to make this attractive to men, women and children. These items go along the outside of the book, only. Inside the book is just the elastic which is easy to move and does not harm the book in any way.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
      Use a 0.5 mm black, white, silver or gold piece of elastic cord or thread. Length approximately 8 inches long. Glass or plastic beads, small charms, seashells, buttons or any other small item is threaded onto the elastic. Items are centered on the elastic. Knots are made at either end of the items. The knots keep the items centered on the elastic. Then the two ends of the elastic are knotted together. This will then slip easily onto your book. The beads or other items are on the outside of the book along the binding. Because the elastic is so thin, which is inside the book, the pages are not harmed in any way. The Page-Keeper can remain on the book as you read and moved easily from page to page or section to section.
