Abstract

A marker assembly adapted for use with an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system, and particularly for use with books to be monitored by an EAS system, includes a flat elongated, marker strip of low coercive force, high permeability ferromagnetic material, adhesive layers carried on both the front and rear surfaces of the marker strip and a release liner which extends along the rear surface of the marker strip, around opposed end margins of the marker, and along the front surface thereof, terminating at the approximate midpoint of the marker strip with opposed, graspable tabs carried clear of the adhesive layer on the front surface. Pulling the opposed tabs away from each other removes the wrapper from the front surface, thereby exposing the adhesive carried on that surface and allowing attachment of the front surface to a selected page of the book. Continued pulling of the tabs detaches the wrapper from the rear surface, exposing the adhesive layer carried by that surface for attachment to the adjacent page of the book.
