Curated by Vocal's Erica Wagner: "Yes, you need a book weight. I have several of these from Levenger — I'm just a tiny bit addicted to their wares — and I often give them as gifts. I keep one in the kitchen for cookbooks, and a couple up in my office. When I copy out text I like to type it or write it out, rather than copy/paste, a task made infinitely easier if your pages are held open by a smooth leather bookweight. You can get them monogrammed too, if you’re into that kind of thing."
