Live Your Home Library Dream With These Ex Libris Stamps
Are you always lending out books? Need a way to keep tabs on your titles and the ones you've borrowed from others? You'll want to invest in one or more of these awesome ex libris stamps.
Ex libris stamps emerged from book plates, an altogether fascinating aspect of the book world in and of itself. As rubber stamps took off in the scrapbooking world and beyond, they become more and more customizable, so it's little surprise that finding book plate style stamps has gotten much easier — and a lot of fun.
The ex libris stamps here range from those you can personalize to those which are a little more set in design. Some will remind you of old due date stampers from pre-digital libraries, and others will go even further into the reaches of memory, looking like medieval book plates. Whatever your tastes or interests, there is a great ex libis stamp out there for you.
There's no question that these stampers will only help you build your dream library.
