The book had some nice features, such as: a hard-bound cover, a ribbon for a bookmark, and the author's signature.
The only error is in the verb tense. I assume the book is still in existence, so you'd use the present tense -- has.
In addition, you don't need the colon after "such as" -- no punctuation at all after that phrase.

On Saturday March 29th the refrigerators will be cleaned out. If you have anything in there that you do not want thrown away, please make sure to take it home on Friday.
Thank you,
The sentence you provided is grammatically incorrect due to the verb tense. Instead of using the past tense verb "had," which suggests that the book no longer has these features, you should use the present tense verb "has," which implies that the book still possesses these features.
The corrected sentence would be: "The book has some nice features, such as a hard-bound cover, a ribbon for a bookmark, and the author's signature."
To identify this error and correct it, you can follow these steps:
1. Read the sentence carefully and identify the verb tense used.
2. Determine if the verb tense accurately reflects the current state or condition of the subject.
3. If the verb tense does not match the intended meaning, revise the verb tense to align with the desired timeframe.
In this case, you can follow step 3 and revise the verb tense to the present tense "has" to indicate that the book still has the mentioned features.
