I never fully realized how addictive my computer had become until it went through a mid life crisis earlier this week at the same time that the neighborhood computer guru left for a ten day trip to California..
In any event I am getting back on track now and playing catch up.
Here are some odds and ends that have piled up.
Fellow collector/dealer Gabe Konrad bought a large number of bookplate reference books and is in the process of printing a catalog.

Mystery Leather Bookplate
This is one of the nicest leather bookplates I have ever had.
I no nothing about the owner nor the country he lived in.
Any input would be appreciated.

The Wonders of The Internet
One of my favorite bookplate artists is Frances Delehanty.Several years ago Richard Schimmelpfeng and I collaborated on a check list of her bookplates .
Hello Lew,
My name is David Hildt, and Frances W. Delehanty
was my great aunt. I came across your blog after googling FWD, and I was amazed
to see your collection of bookplates which she created. I am sending you a copy
of the only one in my possession. It is one she made for her younger brother,
Thornton Augustin Washington Delehanty, who was also the brother of my
grandfather, John Bradley Delehanty.
Thank you!

This has nothing to do with bookplates but extreme collectors fascinate me.
