  Using a sheet of stamps as a bookmark is a terrible idea for multiple
  reasons:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>You "run out of stamps" and have to get more--but are puzzled as to
      where you used them all.
  <li>You put the book down for a year or so and when you pick it up again
      the price of stamps has gone up 4 cents which makes using those stamps
      a hassle (though my fix for this is to just keep waiting and eventually
      the stamp is the right amount for postcards).
  <li>If you used the "licky" stamps, sometimes there's just enough moisture
      over the period of time it's been in the book that the stamps become
      parmanently adhered to the page that you bookmarked.
</ol>
<p>
  So don't do it!  Terrible idea!
