Books are never going away.
Despite the cries of traditional publishers and the siren's call of e-books, paper and cloth and glue books are here to stay.
One thing the digital revolution will do for books is help make them more valuable. Fine books are not only collections of words, they are individual pieces of art. From cover to cover, books have a feel and a presence that is incomparable and impossible to duplicate via electronics.
Like any other prized possession, you want to make sure your books stay where they belong; in your library. When you lend them to friends, you want to make sure they come back. That's where the bookplate comes in.
Traditionally, bookplates have been printed on adhesive backed paper or applied with brushed-on glue. That's all well and good so long as you don't want to remove the plate. Anyone who has ever tried to remove permanent adhesive from paper without damaging both the bookplate and the book knows how frustrating it can be.
Now, with exponential advances having been made in paper and adhesive technology, we can offer bookplates with all the advantages of permanence without the damaging potential.
Our bookplates are printed on high-gloss Startack Removable Adhesive Paper to ensure both vibrant color fidelity and ease of removal if it becomes necessary. Sized 2� x 4�, our plates don't impose themselves on the book. Rather, we like to think they compliment it, advertising its owner without distracting from the beauty of the design.
This set of ten plates features the digital photography of The Deep Void Skitzoid. Each photograph is straight from the artist's camera, capturing the form and flow of light in its free state, without any post-processing. They are reproduced in striking, vivid color.
You get two each of ten plates, 20 plates in all, personalized at your direction.
For book-lovers or book-hoarders (both of which I confess to being), these make thoughtful and unique gifts.
Check back often, as we will be offering more sets of plates in the near future.
Please include personalization details with your order.
