I bought a book recently at a thrift story and this punch card was being used a bookmark. I remember seeing these cards as a youngster and thinking how high-tech they were. Now I cannot think how quaint they seem. They might now be efficient, but they certainly are a lot more jazzy than the barcodes they have nowadays. Well this won’t go to waste, it is now my official hardcover book bookmark.

Ah, Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini if I’m reading the name on the punchcard correctly. Great, great book, Retroist!
I do prefer the Sea-Hawk myself though. :)
I remember a library I use to go to as a kid that used punch cards to check in and out books. Man I would love to have a used punch card for a bookmark. I would get it laminated to persevere forever.
Fantastic! RU!
