We received this news item after sending our latest newsletter: "Her Story: A Timeline of the Women Who Changed America" was on "The Denver Post" bestseller list for the 6th time in May 2010. Authors Charlotte Waisman and Jill Tietjen use bookplates and bookmarks from Bookplate Ink at all of their book signings. Education resources and book club discussion guidelines and much more can be found at their web site www.herstoryatimeline.com.

Bookplate Ink has three loyal customers who are currently on the New York Times Best Seller list. Congratulations to author Bernard Cornwell, whose book, THE BURNING LAND, is in the hardcover fiction category (www.bernardcornwell.net); Daniel H. Pink, whose book DRIVE appears in the hardcover non-fiction category (www.danpink.com); and Abraham Verghese, whose book CUTTING FOR STONE is in the paperback trade fiction category (abrahamverghese.com).

We have had great customer response to our non-personalized bookplates. These bookplates provide an option to purchase designs at a lower cost, since they are not custom printed. A great gift idea also! Due to requests from customers, we have added two more popular designs in this category: B213 and M101. Check them out in the non-personalized category.

The Irish Times included an interesting article about the importance of bookplates in its January 11th issue, including a mention of Bookplate Ink. Although we weren't the only company mentioned as a place to buy bookplates, we have had a good response from Ireland. We appreciate our new Irish customers! As was the experience of the journalist, we frequently hear from customers that it's difficult to find bookplates locally, especially personalized ones. You can read the article online at www.irishtimes.com/newspaper.
We recently received an e-mail from a relative of the designer of some of our bookplates from the 1950s. The Young Modern series was created by Benton Ferguson, who was an illustrator for the well-known Saturday Review. It was great to hear from his family! View Ferguson's clever bookplates, Y100, Y200, and Y300 at Young Modern series.

BOOKPLATES for AUTHORS and ARTISTS!
Bookplate Ink is proud to supply bookplates for many well-known authors. Many authors sign bookplates for their readers. Bookplates are convenient to ship to customers and bookstores. 
We have several "border" designs suitable for signings and also print bookplates with custom artwork.
Bestselling author Michelle Moran recently ordered a custom bookplate design that includes the jacket artwork from her new book, Cleopatra's Daughter.
Check out her website at www.michellemoran.com.
Author Abigail Arrington is promoting her legal thriller, Precession, with custom bookplates that use her jacket cover artwork.
This exciting author's website is www.abigailarrington.com.
Artists also order bookplates with their own artwork. Amy McGregor-Radin is offering bookplates with her white line woodcut artwork along with her matted and framed artwork. See this design
and others at amradinart.googlepages.com
If you're looking for bookplates with no name printed on them, check out our page of pre-printed bookplates. We are able to offer these at a lower price because they're printed in bulk. We have just added a border design, N100, and the popular B252 to our stock of pre-printed designs.
Our customers have creative uses for bookplates! While many customers give a set of bookplates as a gift to newborns, one customer includes a few classic books with bookplates already on them, along with the gift box of remaining bookplates. We also have customers who’ve ordered bookplates to put in books being given as gifts at weddings, birthdays, and bar mitzvahs. What a wonderful way to give your guests something to remember from your event! Many schools include bookplates in the books they give as rewards for exemplary reading or their “birthday club.” Bookplates are also stylish when used to identify your company in books given at corporate events or books given in memory of a loved one. If you have an idea we haven't included here, we'd love to hear from you!

AUTHORS! Bookplate Ink is proud to have been mentioned by author Rita Gerlach on the Writer Gazette, a resource for writers, at writergazette.com. We have the largest selection of classic bookplates, printed on acid-free cream colored paper. We also have color designs printed on white paper.
Many authors sign bookplates instead of signing books. Bookplates are convenient to ship to customers and bookstores. We have several "border" designs suitable for signings and also print bookplates with custom artwork.
We personally answer all e-mails, so if you have questions or don't see exactly what you're looking for, feel free to e-mail us.

We are pleased to once again bring back into print many favorite Antioch Bookplate Company designs from years past. In the B&W gallery, some specialty designs include one for veterinarians (F697), a popular fairy design (F101) and desert and cowboy designs (D300 and C001). We have also added another beautiful Rockwell Kent design (F701).
In the color gallery, we have added a delightful series from Antioch originally titled "Young Moderns" (Y100, Y200, and Y300). And a personal favorite, S201, at the bottom of the color gallery, is a beautiful ocean painting.
These "new" Antioch designs are scattered throughout the galleries, so take your time looking at the designs before making your selection!
