Bookplate: "Because it is my friend!"

Another bookplate from a book donated to the thrift store.

"I promise to: Keep from rolling up page corners"

Rolling up page corners? Is that a thing?


I confess, I have a habit of running page corners under my fingernails as I'm reading. 
Still, I am kind to each "book as though it had a soul... BECAUSE IT IS MY FRIEND"


The old bookplates I see at work aren't always this cool.
But again, after two months away, I see some things at my work as more wonderful.
Why don't I photograph more bookplates? All of them!

Here, I didn't match the color quite right (one of these days I'm going to get photoshop or gimp so I can clone), but I covered old handwriting to make the fresh name & address lines.
