    What is a collector of bookmarks called?

    Question #15237. Asked by ebonyuk. (Dec 22 01 10:22 AM)


    Son of The Household Cavalry

    		I have found 'Bookmarkniatic' which I think is a less than serious term on the following website:
    http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/exlibris/2001/06/msg00178.html

    I have not been able to find anything else other than the generalised term of Ephermera, which bookmarks would be part of.

    		I haven't had any luck in finding a recognised English term for a collector of bookmarks. But according to French websites, the French word is signopaginophile or signetophile, with an additional word chartasignopaginophile for a collector of bookmarks made of paper.

    Are these words perhaps used by English-speaking collectors as well?

    Judging from the Net, the hobby seems to be quite popular in France. There's even a collector advertising swaps at http://www.chez.com/marquepage/

    This is one of my favourite books. I haven't even seen the movie so there will be no references to it here. If you haven't read the book DO SO! You will not regret it.
