Background Art

[3] In general, a book is made by gathering printed sheets so as to prevent the order of the printed sheets from being scattered, to be easily read, to conveniently handle, and plays a role of connecting the past, the present, and the future to each other in basis of culture, knowledge, and information.

[4] An individual person used to read a great deal of various kinds of books such as baby books like fairly tail books, biographies of great minds, international masterpieces, fictions, poetries, text books, workbooks, technical books, journals, magazines, and the like. However, readers easily forget the books read, as they cannot remember the contents of the read books and also the titles of the books, and certainly regret over what records of what books they read.

[5] Meanwhile, Korean Registered Utility Model No. 300980, entitled "Reading Card

Type Bookmark" is made for a reader to record necessary phrases while reading books and to file the bookmarks into a book collection after reading books, plays a role of a bookmark to indicate precise pages and lines of a book to read later during the reading, and is made in a form of a reading card in which a recording part on which principal contents, phrases, impressions, or the like of a book that a reader has read can be recorded after reading books, is provided such that the reader collects the bookmarks to file into the reading collection and to easily glance the principal contents of the books that the reader has read. However, since this bookmark is similar to what tourist attraction and noted places are recorded with simple impressions without photographs, memories (reminds) of the books that have been read cannot promptly come into the readers mind even when the collected bookmarks are reviewed later. Since the conventional bookmark is made in the form of a file in which reading cards are collected,

a kind of book, it is inconvenient to read the conventional bookmark. Moreover, since designs of the conventional bookmark are not diverse, a reader feels repugnance to keep the conventional bookmark in custody.

[6] Meanwhile, a photograph album is a collection of personal photographs recording the growing process from babyhood to old age. In order to build a personal biography, people take photographs of memories such as events, tourist attractions, and the like. From the photograph album, people can retrospect the past memories as well as their own in the past at any time.

[7] Like collecting the photographs, a person would read a great deal of books during their life. However, although a plenty of books are read, books that a reader has read, such as ones in childhood, books that the reader has read without burden, and workbooks used in school days, disappear from the reader's memory and titles remaining in the reader's memory are few.

[37] FIG. 4 illustrates a book according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The book is basically identical to the book according to the first embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, however is different from the book according to the first embodiment in the point that the book according to this embodiment further includes the sticker cover 7 formed in an inner side of the postcard cover 6 to be adhered to and detached from the postcard cover 6 and a memorandum 8 formed at a side of the sticker cover 7, that is, at a lower side of the drawing.

[38] In the embodiment depicted in FIG. 4, the postcard cover 6 is wholly separated along the dotted line 5 to scrap or the sticker cover 7 attached to the inner side of the postcard cover 6 is separated while remaining the postcard cover 6 such that the sticker cover 7 is conveniently scrapped into a scrap book or attached to another photograph album.
