Features: The world of bookplates can be said to be a hall of celebrities. They pursue knowledge, invite others or design bookplates themselves as symbols of their love for books. This book displays dozens of bookplates of Western cultural celebrities and tells the legends and stories hidden within through prose. From Dickens to Updike, from Bismarck to Queen Elizabeth, from Greek mythology to symbolism, the tiny space of a bookplate is like a clear mirror, containing a colorful reflection of the essence of Western culture over centuries.
