Bookplates
If you are familar with our portfolio you surely know that we like designing bookplates. You guys seem to like them as well, since we receive more and more commissions from you. Thank you very much for your confidence in us, we hope this year we'll have the opportunity to design lots of lovely symbols for you again. A bookplate is a small print or a label, which is adhered to a book, most often inside the front cover. It is also known as ex libris, meaning 'from the library of'. These little marks show the owner of the books and also protect them from being lost.
