I am thinking about buying some 'ex libris' book plates. I may also design some myself. In fact I may design some 'read me' bookplates to stick in unwanted books and distribute them about the capital. We shall see. The above (may snap it again in focus) is at the front of my works of Rabelais. Rather fine I think (as are also the works of Rabelais). Found out a bit more about the man, (Robert George Morton, if you can't read it). He was the first person to start a circulating library, and donated his book collection (apart from these, which I bought secondhand in a bookshop) to Liverpool university. He retired to the Isle of Man, after donating his land to the local council.
