A folder including a main panel having an inner face and an outer face, and a slash panel having an inner face and an outer face. The slash panel is coupled to the main panel such that the inner face of the main panel and the inner face of the slash panel form a first pocket therebetween. The folder further includes a first outer panel coupled to the main panel and forming a second pocket with the outer face of the main panel. The folder has a second outer panel coupled to the slash panel and forming a third pocket with the outer face of the slash panel.

A light bar for illuminating a surface that is substantially perpendicular to the light bar includes an elongated housing extending along an edge of the surface to be illuminated. The housing has a wall adjacent the surface to be illuminated, and at least portions of that wall are transparent. A series of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are mounted within the housing and spaced along the length of the housing for illuminating the surface, and a connector couples the LEDs to an electrical power source for energizing the LEDs to produce light that illuminates the surface.

A device for connecting two objects, especially for holding a writing instrument on a notebook or the like, with a clamping body having clamping arms extending across a narrow side, for example, of the notebook, which clamping body grips one of the objects in pliers-like fashion with its clamping arms and forms a holder for holding the other object, e.g., the writing instrument, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the narrow side. Mechanisms are provided to spread open the clamping arms.

A publication and product delivery package is disclosed which permits a variety of products to be packaged and displayed along the binding (or spine) of a publication, such as a magazine, or an object of similar size, and delivered to a purchaser of that publication in an attractive, efficient, cost effective way, utilizing standard delivery services such as the United States Postal Service. The publication package allows delivery of products which are otherwise loose, liquid, or fragile to survive in their original form, and arrive at the location of the purchaser intact, despite the stresses and impacts of such packaging, display, and delivery. The publication package also allows a product manufacturer or distributor to include other additional attractive marketing text and images alongside product containers, which text and images providing additional exposures of product names and graphics, which may be coordinated with similar text, images impressed on the delivered products, to achieve high-impact and memorable promotion of the products so delivered, with minimal additional delivery costs over those costs of delivering the publication alone.

A customizable book allows the integration of animation aids to engage readers and encourage them to interact with the story. The animation aids include a fire hose bubble blowing, puppet attachments, and apertures are configured to frame the face of a child and create the appearance of the child's face being in the book. The pages of the story may include illustrations to create the appearance that the user's face is positioned on top of a character's body. Puppet attachments may also be used and the puppet's hands can be manipulated through hand apertures to create an appearance of a moving figure on the page. The firehose bubble blowing may be used with the book by attaching a front nozzle of the bubble blowing to the book through an aperture, to create an appearance of bubbles being produced by a page of the book.
