You will receive your custom-engraved stamp, along with an ink pad to start stamping all your books without a second to lose.

Before each shipment, the workshop checks the quality of the engraving. The stamp is tested on a small card tucked into the box containing your ex-libris.
CAREFUL PACKAGING
The stamp engraving is hand-wrapped in a piece of folded tissue paper to protect it during transit, then placed in a brown cardboard box that you can keep or gift as is, with no need for further wrapping.

Details
AN ORIGINAL GIFT, WHICH HAS MEANING.
Staff
A design chosen according to their tastes, passions, and personality. A personalization that is far from whimsical, as it indicates that this book belongs to them.
Artisanal
A gift born of artistic and artisanal expertise, sustainable and produced in small batches.
EX-LIBRIS IN A FEW POINTS
N°01 — THE TRADITION
It is a forgotten tradition, born several centuries ago. Morgane Rospars, an independent artist, draws inspiration from it and brings it to life with a modern touch. Her bookplates are handcrafted in France and produced in very limited quantities. They are discreet works of art that will leave your mark on your books for generations to come.
N°02 — AUTHENTICITY
The stamp is by definition imperfect, and that is where all its beauty lies. Solid areas are never perfectly smooth: they vary depending on the inking and the paper. Why make bookplates in the form of stamps? Because they are durable and can accompany you throughout your entire life.
N°03 — THE ACTION
There is something childlike about using a stamp. It is a surprise and a satisfaction with every impression. A simple and pleasant gesture, which also finds its joy in appropriation and repetition.
N°04 — slow living
It’s a ritual before or after reading, which, however small, becomes a moment for you, free of screens and urgency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ex-libris?
It is an ancient, forgotten tradition that allows you to mark your books with your name.
IS THIS FOR ME?
Anyone can have a bookplate. One for all your books, or several depending on your mood or the type of work: it can be stamped just as well on a Pléiade edition as on a paperback or a comic book.
CAN I GIVE AN EX-LIBRIS AS A GIFT?
Yes! Choose the design that looks like the person, then enter the name to be inscribed. If you prefer that they choose for themselves, give them a gift certificate.
CAN THE INK COLOR BE CHANGED?
Morgane chooses the color of the ink pad included with each bookplate based on her inspiration. We can, however, exchange it for another color upon request.
HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY STAMP?
Gently clean the surface with water and a little soap, then let it dry. Avoid soaking the wooden frame.
