No. The ultra-slim profile is designed to slip between pages without causing creases, tears, or indentations. The smooth polished surface is safe for all book types, including delicate vintage books.

Because this is genuine wood, each piece has unique natural grain patterns and color variations. This is inherent to natural materials.
