A note to publishers

I'm about halfway through Nick Hornby's Housekeeping vs. Dirt. It has a lot of virtues, chief among them the fact that Nick Hornby wrote it.

The fine folks at Believer Books have made reading it even more enjoyable by adding one simple feature: extended cover flaps.

The flaps make for a perfect bookmark when you don't have any slips of paper around and don't feel like dog-earing the pages (though I don't think Hornby would mind). They probably only work for slim books like this, but they're still a nice addition that makes it a snap to mark your spot when you realize that your bus stop has come and you need to rush off.
