The bookmarks on these bookmarks submitted by Gaby Dondlinger, Luxembourg, get increasingly difficult to find so look closely!

Georg Hartong has a collection of bookmarks on bookmarks from swap meetings.  He will write a post about the history of these meetings soon.  
From swap meetings at Leusden near Amersfoort and Nuenen near Eindhoven, 2009 - 2017 with a different theme every year; the final one will take place April 2019--too many collectors died or stopped collecting!

For the swap meetings at Malo-les-bains in France near Calais; I visited these meetings from 2000 - 2013; they do not exist any longer because of the high expenses for security measures related to terrorism.
