ribbon bookmark

Sewn-in reading saver

A ribbon bookmark is a narrow fabric strip attached to the spine of a book, used to mark one's place.

Unlike loose bookmarks, the ribbon is permanently bound into the book and cannot be lost.

Common in Bibles, journals, and quality hardcovers: She slipped the ribbon bookmark between the pages before closing the novel.
