Thank you, Andreu, for your enthusiasm and energy which powered on the category and pushed it forward to the day of the public appear. The help of all contributors who help to expand the category from the very beginning is very much appreciated.

For now, the category includes just a bit more 1000 bookmarks, but we believe that the number of both items and collectors will grow exponentially.

We welcome all bookmark collectors to join us and show their collections to the whole world:)!
