Book Plates & Stuart McLean Article

And this is the reason I love Stuart McLean. Seriously, go read it. It’s so….. true. And yet positively hilarious.

I think it was a few months ago when I mentioned that I was going to be making my own book plates, and a few people mentioned interest in seeing them… I’ve made a couple when I’ve actually found the motivation to sit down and do something for myself, and I’m actually quite happy with them - especially the second one. So for your viewing pleasure…

As you can see from the links above, I’ve also uploaded PDFs of the book plates in case anyone was interested in printing them off for themselves. Just, when you print them, make sure the PDF doesn’t enlarge to fit the whole sheet of paper - it should be 3.5″ x 2″ (standard business card size). And it can just be printed off on any standard adhesive paper that you can buy at most office supply stores.
