Classic Vintage Library Bookplate Shakespeare Rubber Stamp

Mark every book in your library with this classic vintage bookplate stamp. An antique engraved frame, topped with an open book, holds a shelf of old leather-bound volumes above a writing desk set with a quill and inkpot, a little globe and a teacup. The words "My Library… Was Dukedom Large Enough" come from Prospero in Shakespeare's The Tempest, a lovely nod to anyone whose books mean the world to them. Personalize it with your name in elegant script to create your own ex libris. The 4 x 5 inch design is drawn in crisp, bold black lines, in the style of old engraved bookplates. It's sized to fit the inside cover of most hardcovers and paperbacks, so every book you lend finds its way home. A must-have for teachers stamping a classroom library. It's also a thoughtful gift for English and drama teachers, librarians, book club friends and Shakespeare lovers. Give one for the holidays, a birthday, graduation or retirement, or with a favourite novel, for a classic touch every reader will treasure.
