This is a well made item with good attention to detail in the design of the Toucan head and attractive looking wood material. The bookmark feels strong and durable and can fasten to book pages, depending on their relative thickness and flexibility. It makes a sophisticated style statement and would be a great gift for any book lover! The Chaverri Brothers really know how to work with wood material and produce unique, quality products. Keep up the good work.

A small but beautifully adorned bookmark for anyone but especially for the romantic or those who love books and use it to mark their place. It is well constructed and I have presently ordered two slightly different ones for myself but intend to go back and order more for presents to people who love to read as much as I do! The design of the heart and its coloring is added joy of having a bookmark too.
