A page cutter. At one time, books were published with the blocks of 16 pages still folded and with their edges uncut. A sensitive reader needed a good share edge to cut the pages before being able to read the book.

We know he never read it because the pages are uncut.

A mini fire extinguisher that can be kept between the pages. If the smoker reader accidentaly sets fire to the book while falling asleep while reading the book - this tiny little fire extinguisher can put out the fire and save the book from too much damage!
