<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 2125665, member: 649&quot;]Well, that&#039;s me, then.</p><p>Several months ago, I bought a customized ex libris stamp very reasonably from Etsy. I like to stamp new hardcover books that I like well enough to keep (vs. donate) and give up valuable space to in my bookshelves. I do admit that I don&#039;t generally bother stamping paperbacks... if I like a paperback well enough, I will often buy a hardcover edition to stamp and keep, and donate the paperback.</p><p>While the OP&#039;s photos appear to depict ancient texts with ancient ex libris notations, I also enjoy seeing previous owner&#039;s names in more recent (vintage vs. antique) books, whether written or (oh, joy!) on a bookplate.</p><p>But then I enjoy ephemera, as well as books.</p><p><br /></p><p>That all said, I never considered <i>adding </i>my name to a vintage/antique book. Now there&#039;s an idea...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Me, too!!</p><p>In fact, I think that about all books, not just old cookbooks. (And I have quite a collection of those!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
