* If you click the title of this week's posting you will be linked to the 25 bookplates I currently have for sale on Ebay.
You might wonder why someone would pay tribute to the Dodo bird on his bookplate. I certainly did and here is what I learned: Ralph Whistler has been collecting Dodos for a good many years .You can learn more about his world class dodo collection by following the video link below.
Last year I had a bizarre bookplate contest which was well received and I have been thinking about another (different ) sort of bookplate contest but the creative juices are not flowing. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Many of you have found odd and interesting things in books. In fact that is one of the joys of working in a bookstore.
Howard Yeend has a site devoted to things found in books.
Here is a very creative way to display a bookplate collection. I do not know whose collection this is but he or she is probably in Canada and must know me because the collection has several of my personal bookplates.
I am off to a bookstore to find treasures. See you next week.
