dog-earing
Folding page corners
Dog-earing is folding down the corner of a page to mark your place in a book.
The folded corner resembles a dog's floppy ear.
Some readers consider it a convenient bookmark; others view it as defacing the book.
The practice, and the creased pages it produces, may also be called dog-ears: The library copy was full of dog-earing.
