Frequently asked questions

What is a bookplate and where did they come from?
A bookplate (or 'ex libris', Latin for 'from the books of') is a label placed inside a book's cover to mark ownership. They date back to 15th-century Germany and were historically elaborate, often featuring family crests. Beyond claiming ownership, they're practical — a labelled book is far more likely to be returned when lent, and a children's bookplate gives a child a sense of ownership over their growing library.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email, no sign-up.
Can I print it more than once?
