Grolier Club Bookplates
An illustrated volume showcasing some of the most important bookplates produced in America from the collection of the Grolier Club. A bookplate may be viewed as a metaphorical portrait of a book collector or collection, using the designer's personal graphic style.

This carefully researched and amply annotated book not only provides a feast for a bibliophile's eyes but also explores the meaning behind the symbolism in the plates and the legacy of their artists.
