Thumbthing
Sometimes it’s the simplest ideas that work. Next time, you’re sitting by your hotel pool and want to hold a glass of Champagne in one hand, and your book with the other, spare a thought for the Thumbthing. This neat little accessory can also be used as a bookmark when you need to put the book down – to top up your glass, for example.
Yes this does drive me mad would use one of these! Surprised I’ve not seen them at the counters in bookshops, especially at airports.
