Here is a new selection of bookplates for those of you who keep a small or large collection of titles in paper copy. Their former owner's names have been removed. These bookplates were at one time designed with very specific people in mind. However, if you have something in common with them feel free to adopt one or two of the bookplates below for yourself. Bookplates also make lovely little sentiments to enclose in a card or letter to a dear friend.
