More “If It Looks Expensive, Then You Paid Too Much”

I once bought a book that had a bookmark perforated on the inside cover that you could punch out and use to mark your place. Another book came with a figurine. Yet another had colored journal pages on the inside that you could rip out neatly to write down your thoughts.
