The Marginalia Society Bookmark Subscription
A 20-Member Bookmark Collector’s Circle
$20 per month + shipping
There is something sacred about the margin.
The space beside the text.
The creatures tucked into illuminated corners.
The faces carved into cathedral beams.
The stories that survive in whispers rather than headlines.
The Marginalia Society is a limited 20-member collector’s circle devoted to the art of the margin.
Each month, you will receive a newly designed bookmark drawn from my evolving body of work — medieval manuscript ornament, architectural fragments, folklore beasts, and modern legends.
This is not a mass subscription.
It is a small guild.
Each quarter of The Marginalia Society follows a thematic arc, allowing your collection to unfold as a cohesive chapter over time.
• Membership is $20 per month plus shipping.
• Your card will be charged on the 1st of each month.
• To receive the upcoming month’s design, you must join by the 25th of the previous month.
• Bookmarks ship between the 5th and 10th of each month.
• Enrollment is limited to 20 active members.
✧ First Access to Every New Design
Each bookmark is reserved exclusively for Society members for six months before any public release.
✧ A Growing Personal Archive
Each design becomes part of an evolving series. Over time, your collection forms a quiet record of the work.
✧ A Printed Lore or Studio Card
Every shipment includes a short printed note sharing the symbolism, historical reference, or folklore behind the piece.
✧ Early Access to Related Releases
When a bookmark expands into a larger print or woven work, Society members are invited first.
✧ Annual Society-Only Design
After twelve consecutive months, you will receive a bookmark created exclusively for members and never sold publicly.
Because margins have always held strange and meaningful things.
Because building a collection slowly feels different than buying once.
Because you want to receive new designs before anyone else.
Because folklore deserves the same reverence as illuminated manuscripts.
Because your books deserve something intentional.
Because being one of twenty feels different than being one of thousands.
Bookmarks are designed for gentle, everyday use with books, journals, and planners.
To keep your bookmark looking its best:
- Avoid bending or forcing it between tightly packed pages
- Store flat when not in use
- Keep away from prolonged moisture or direct heat
These bookmarks also make beautiful display pieces. Many collectors enjoy tucking them into favorite books on open shelves, pinning them to cork boards, or framing them alongside prints and ephemera.
For larger novels, textbooks, or heavily illustrated books, consider placing the bookmark closer to the outer edge of the pages rather than deep into the spine.
These bookmarks shine especially well in paperbacks, journals, planners, grimoires, and everyday reading books where pages turn easily.
