[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 9562349, member: 649"]I love finding old bookplates! I was discussing with a friend who is also a bibliophile about ink-stamping my name in books (she does it, too)... we both had come to the conclusion that we enjoy seeing previous owners' names in books so someday in the future someone might enjoy seeing ours! I have an Ex Libris stamp with my name, and I write in under it the year I acquired the book. I will do it with vintage books, too, adding my name under the previous owner's name. I dream of one day commissioning a custom bookplate of my own with original artwork...[/QUOTE]
