Various entertainment systems, that include a blanket, along with a flexible book that is removably attachable to the blanket, are described. Such flexible books may include a flexible cover and disposed within the flexible cover may be at least one flexible page. The flexible book may be constructed from a fabric. In some embodiments, the blanket may comprise at least one pocket for removable storage of the flexible book. In some embodiments, the blanket may be folded in half, creating a folder, wherein this folder may be used to removably store the flexible book. And irrespective of such flexible book storage with the blanket, the flexible book may be removably attached to the blanket using mechanical fasteners. Additionally, methods of use and methods of manufacturing for such blankets and flexible books are described, disclosed, and taught.

Embodiments of a store label booklet include a plurality of sheets stacked one on top of the other and connected to a binding that spans an entire thickness of the booklet, each sheet including a planar array of store labels. No release coating is used. When each store label or row is removed from the book, a liner strip remains connected to the binder and a portion of the adhesive lying opposite the liner strip is exposed for application of the label to a retail shelf edge. Each store label may differ in orientation, size, or style and may contain different product information. Location information may be located on a binding of the booklet, on the label, or on both the binding and the label. The store labels may be printed in a predetermined order.

A book made up of pages is described. At least some of the pages contain both space for manually-created visual content, and instances of preprinted indexing target symbols. Each of the indexing target symbol instances has at least a portion within one inch of three unbound page edges. When the book is closed, the instances of each particular indexing target symbol are in a substantially collinear stack that is substantially perpendicular to the faces of the pages.

A tab is provided for notebooks and binders. The tab is placed within the space otherwise occupied by a binding, and thus is protected from wear and does not appreciably increase the overall size of the notebook or binder. The tab may be located at a corner of the binding or at an intermediate point along the binding.

A fire resistant container assembly for protecting memorabilia from a fire includes a tub that is comprised of a fire impermeable material to withstand temperatures associated with a house fire. The tub has a pair of recesses each integrated into the tub such that each of the recesses defines a grip for gripping and lifting the tub. A divider is positioned within the tub to define a first compartment and a second compartment in the tub to store memorabilia associated with a deceased person. A lid is removably attachable to the tub and a groove is integrated into the lid. The groove insertably engages an upper threshold of the tub to inhibit heat from entering the tub. The lid is comprised of a fire impermeable material to withstand temperatures associated with a house fire.

Printed matter including a viewed-page detection electrode provided to a primary surface of a first printed medium among a plurality of bound printed media, the viewed-page detection electrode being so disposed that, when the printed matter is closed, at least part of the electrode provided to a first page overlaps with an electrode provided to a second page facing the first page; a selected-area detection electrode provided to the primary surface and located at a position different from the viewed-page detection electrode; a first determination unit connected to the viewed-page detection electrode to determine a page that is currently open based on capacitance generated in the viewed-page detection electrode; and a second determination unit connected to the selected-area detection electrode to determine whether the selected-area detection electrode of the open page has been touched by a user based on capacitance generated in the selected-area detection electrode.

This invention comprises a customized book (1) preferably in hardcover that is obtained through a sequential process developed using a specific software application, in which the user, usually but not necessarily a child, visits a website on which several settings are offered for the user to literally set up their character, such as: skin color, race, eye color, glasses, clothes, type of shoes, anyway, several parameters can be set for that specific interaction, which are obviously variable as desired. Once the character is chosen and set up, with all registered settings, the system generates an avatar (2), which is transferred into the book through a software application. Thus, the previously chosen book, with preferably famous characters, receives in an interactive manner the avatar (2) chosen to take part in the story, which arouses in the child an extremely pleasant feeling, as well as in their parents and other adult people.

A journal for writing comprising a front cover and rear cover attached via a hinge. The front cover and rear cover enveloped by a plush fabric creating a soft unibody of an animal or character. Anatomical features carried by the front cover. The anatomical features including a face having facial features resembling the facial features of a particular animal or character. The anatomical features including certain features which are raised in a three dimensional manner above the soft unibody providing for a stuffed animal or character presentation. A plurality of writing surfaces carried within the front cover and said rear cover providing for a journal for writing.
