In another example, a cook reading/using a cookbook, the longest arm could mark a main dish while other arms could keep track of side dishes, salads, desserts, and cocktails. A decorative bead, stone, and/or charm is provided on the top of the bookmark for holding the multiple arms together. Also, there are also decorative beads, stones, and/or charms on the bottom of each of the multiple arms to distinguish the various arms from each other.
