At last a topic that even I can identify with! Never really thought about
the glue hanging on for a long time. Up to now, most of the books I've
used "post it" notes with are ones I'm not really concerned about.

What other methods might be considered as alternatives? Before the "post
it" notes, I sometimes used paper clips, which made indentations in the
paper which likewise damaged the book.

Interesting topic.
