I've said it before in different ways, but I'm even more convinced of it today: every book long enough that it needs to be read over multiple sessions should have a ribbon glued in the spine as a bookmark. It's simply too useful to not have.
If Amazon gave me the option I'd include it in every copy of the graysonian ethic, but as things are I bought a length of ribbon and some clear glue and glue a ribbon into every book I buy.
Previously I might fold in a page where I stopped (damaging the pages), or I'd put the book down face down (which can damage the spine), or I'd use a piece of scrap paper as a bookmark (which works but you don't always have scrap nearby). The other difference between a ribbon and a bookmark is the ribbon is generally much more secure. A bookmark can fall out, but the ribbon is secure in its location until you pull it directly and fully out from between the pages and put it on another page, even if the pages become loose.
