The service I offer is bespoke "Ex Libris" Bookplates designed, drawn and made (ready gummed if required) to order.

These bookplates are provided on a choice of papers:

• Archival quality acid-free gummed paper 70gsm;
• Quality ready to stick self-adhesive "peel-back" 100gsm cartridge paper. The paper and ink are acid-free and so should be the glue. I have used this on my own plates since 1997 with no ill effects, but if you are going to put plates in antiquarian books, please go for the above;
• Any other paper sourced on request.

The original artwork is included in the price, as it is designed for you. The artwork will be a signed original pen and ink drawing approximately one and a half times the size of the chosen plate.
Sets of between 250 (for smaller sizes) to 50 (for larger plates) bookplates are available, and extra sets can be provided at any later date. Please see my prices.

As the bookplate is designed bespoke for your personal library, this becomes in part a consultative process, with a fair bit of dialogue and discussion being required for me to get to know what you want. Please do make a "scrap book" of ideas to help things along.

If ordering as a present, please allow a three weeks notice, especially when my printer is on holiday! Although I have done them quicker when everyone is available.

Please do e-mail me for full details and a sample.

Thanks to my various bookplate commissions, I am now included in the Bookplate Society list of artists.
