- The front includes a note: Helaine Victoria Press Women's History Shop. Specialists in publishing women's history postcards, with a unique store offering herstorical postcards, posters, periodicals, T-shirts and other women's culture works. Helaine Victoria Press printed 100s of thousands of bookmarks to be given away with mail orders and at conferences and festivals. A bookmark was always added with the sale of every out-of-print book by and about women. This particular bookmark advertised the Helaine Victoria Press Women's History Shop. On most of the offset press runs, there was extra space in the margin, and Nancy Poore and Jocelyn Cohen had come up with the idea to fill it with two or three bookmarks. After all, doing so did not add to the cost of the press run, just a little time to pre-press production, and what a bonus! Printed 7 ¼” x 2” in sepia, orange and peach.
