Besotted with everything book and bookish

Before I go outside and mull about, I thought I’d share.

 As most who know me, you know that I love everything literary,

 right down to the crease on a dog-ear in a book that once belonged to someone else.

I also love Book-Plates, and have recently come across some with remarques.

Delicious.

For those who do not know what I’m talking about, a remarque is a small drawing or symbol that an artist adds near his/her signature.

Remarques are rare and, obviously, increases the value of any rendering,

including Book-Plates.

John William Jameson (1882-1939) used remarques more than any other American bookplate designer.

I’ve started collecting Book-Plates, placing them gingerly on the inside front cover of my books, and adding a little something decadent to each for the next owner to marvel and wonder about.
