Introduction

Hi!

I couldn't find a bookplate group already on LibraryThing, and figured I can't be the only one on this website who enjoys them. Little pieces of art & history.

Post stories, pictures, wants, offers for trade, whatever. Have fun!

What the heck! What's another Group? I do appreciate bookplate art.

You can see I have a short shelf of bookplate art HERE

Hey, I've got a whole shelf of books about bookplates, I should put them on here!! Oddly, I found a signed copy of the Art of the Bookplate that you have. Not worth any extra, I'm sure, but still kind of neat! :)

I thought I remembered a group.
I just added a catalog published by Antioch Bookplates Company. I found it at the laundromat, of all places! There is a shelf of publications there that operates like a Little Free Library. I will of course replace it with something more generally appealing from my own discard pile. Mysteries are popular there.

I’ve got Keenan’s book ❤️
And next to it, Ex Libris: the art of bookplates. Also ❤️

Seems I should have one or two more.
