A bookplate is a label pasted in a book to indicate ownership. Bookplates generally indicate "from the library of" or ex libris, which is Latin meaning from the books of. Historically, bookplates were usually made of paper on which heraldic or other designs were engraved or printed. The earliest printed bookplates date from c.1480 in Germany with bookplates dating from 1642 in North America. The practice of designing bookplates flourished throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. ChicagoWriter is now offering personalized, self-adhesive bookplates to enhance your library of cherished volumes. Select any of our designs and we will customize them with your name—or leave them blank for you to handwrite your name or give as a gift. Bookplates measure approximately 3.5" x 4". Custom bookplates come in a set of six of the same design for $2.50. A fabulous gift for writers and book lovers alike—both young and young at heart!
