Ex Libris Bookplate Stamp - Evergreen Tree Fir - Perfect Gift for Book Lover - Library - Teacher - Custom - Wedding - Christmas - Graduation

In a world full of smartphones and ebooks, there's something special and tangible about owning and reading real books. Our Ex Libris bookplate stamps are based on real antique bookplate designs you would have found in the 18th and 19th centuries. "Ex Libris" is Latin for "From the Library of," and traditionally marks books as being part of their owners' personal libraries. Our stamps can be used to stamp the endpages (the blank pages at the beginning and ending of books), the inside cover, tags, bookmarks, or any other way you'd prefer to personalize your books. Whether you choose a handmade premium hardwood stamp in maple, cherry, or walnut, every aspect of your stamp is produced in-house at Paper Street Stamp Shop. I’m a graphic designer and a woodworker, and this translates to me being completely in control of the quality and speed in which you receive your personalized stamp.

-In the “add your personalisation” text box, enter your personalization details: NAME (as you'd like it to appear in the design, please note that certain designs may require us to format your name in a similar way as shown in the product images above).
-Please double-check your spelling and information, and place your order.
-You’ll receive your free design proof via Etsy Conversations within 24 hours of your order, and after your approval production of your stamp will begin.

*By default, your name will appear in the same format shown in the example of your chosen design. Please indicate the format in which you'd like your name to appear if you'd prefer to do so. Options include an individual's first and last name, or a traditional family name (ie "The Greysons"), a formal family name (ie "Greyson"), or an informal couple's names (ie "William and Mary"). There's no right or wrong here, whatever you'd prefer is fine, but please note that the layout and spacing of the stamp design may be quite different from the example if we alter the formatting.

**Ex Libris bookplate stamps are designed to be stamped on the thick blank end pages you find at the beginning and end of hardback books. If you plan to stamp on thin pages like you sometimes find with paperback books, you may want to lay a sheet of paper behind the page being stamped to protect against possible ink bleed-through.
