Both are incredibly tiresome the way they clutter available surfaces to remind us of dreadful things. Dreadful things like buy milk or feed the pet snail. Anyway, if Post its and similar papers that are used to convey short messages aren’t that useful (i.e. they’re ignored) then a more illuminating alternative might be necessary.

What designer Steve Hoefer did was to remove (more like tear out the books innards and create a frame inside to fit a lamp). The result is wonderful accessory for the bedside that, to be honest, probably won’t make a nice reading lamp.
