Abstract
A publication having a separation line indicated on at least one of the pages of the publication. The separation line has a first endpoint and a second endpoint. The first endpoint is located on or adjacent to a first edge of the page and a distance away from a second edge of the page; the first edge forms an angle with the second edge. The second endpoint is located a distance away from the first edge and a distance away from the second edge. The distance from the first endpoint to the second edge is greater than the distance from the second endpoint to the second edge. A page marker integral with the page is formed when the page is separated along the separation line. When the page marker is folded towards the second edge of the page, a portion of the page marker extends beyond the second edge. The page marker thus functions as a bookmark.
