This is so interesting and informative; I never knew there was such a thing as a bookplate. I do have some favourite books, but once I am gone, I don't think my kids have the same taste in books, nor the space to keep my collection. So; this bookplate is for my own ego, or is there another purpose? Are there collectiors of books with bookplates? Are any of those marked books still around? It does sound like a fun idea.
I think the beauty of book plates is they can serve any purpose you want. I do know there are book plate collectors. I do believe there are many books with bookplates floating around. Probably much older books. I agree! Imagine the bookplate as an avatar for your reading self and it seems very fun to see what it would look like.
