The answer is post-it notes. Did you know that they were originally invented as bookmarks for people in choirs? The guy sang at his church, and if you hold the book up while you sing, your bookmarks and notes fall out. He was pleasantly surprised to find his sticky disposable bookmark notes were useful at the office.

Alex is right, per usual, though I'm a particular stickler for keeping any type of book in good shape.
