If you've placed any order with Don's Magic & Books, you most likely received a brightly colored bookmark. It could be yellow, green red, purple, or even black & white.
Why all of the colors?
Well, it helps me keep track of when I added the books to the website.
For instance, if you have the light yellow bookmark with the rounded corners, you have one of the earlier books from me (2020). If you have the yellow bookmark with squared-off corners, that was a title added a little later (2023).
The most recent color is the Black & White version. We started utilizing them recently on May 20th, 2026.
So far there have been 10 different versions, in this order, along with the date they were put into circulation: Yellow (11/17/20), green (5/11/21), red (7/20/22), purple (4/8/23), yellow w/square corners (12/6/23), light blue (7/2/24), grey (3/21/25), brown (10/16/25) and black (5/20/26). There was one other yellow in there, and I had only used about 100 of them when I realized that they had a mistake on them, so I quit using them right away.
How many do you have?
What color should I make next? The winning color choice will get a $50 gift card for Don's Magic & Books.

I love this post! The colors of the bookmarks having meaning was unexpected and I love it! Leaving in the morning for a two week road trip to see family and friends and ending in the IBM convention in STL, so I will have to wait until I get back to count all my colors. But the next color? Looking at what you’ve done, I vote NAVY BLUE. Thanks Don!
Next bookmark: Teal & Orange
When you run out of colors, start using the darker shades with white or yellow print!
