Ex-Libris

If that's still not enough bookplate for you, check out "Ex Libris: The Art of Bookplates" by Martin Hopkinson.

    Those are lovely bookplates. I like how they put some effort into them.

    I love the one of the guy smoking a cigar and reading in the tub. What was the owner's name on that one? I'd love to find a copy for my bookplate collection.
