People who treasure their books--the printing, paper, and binding as much as the words in them--like to put a book plate in them. This little sticker, around the size of a playing card, has for centuries identified a book's owner but also given an idea of the person's artistic taste. Here is a design based on the Latin words for "From the books [of]," that bears witness to an omnivorous reader with an interest in lettering. [It's also printed inside the cover of Learn Calligraphy] The space at the lower margin allows you to write your own name in. once you've practiced on scratch paper to be sure it will fit.
