OCTOPUS BOOKPLATES, Exclusively Designed and Handcrafted by Ebon et Noir Guard the volumes in your library with these unusual bookplates featuring a very literate octopus. This beautiful design dates back to 1904. Bookplates are ideal for safeguarding the volumes in your library and make a unique and thoughtful gift.

Bookplates are crafted on 50# White English Finish Gummed Paper and hand-cut to size. Gummed paper is coated with an adhesive backing that requires water to activate (similar to traditional stamps). Once the adhesive is activated, the paper will adhere to the front pastedown of your book. Historically, bookplates have been printed on gummed paper for a variety of reasons. First, the glue is water-soluble and can be removed by steaming or wetting without damaging your book. Second, gummed paper dries flat and without residue and eliminates the waste of sticker adhesive backings. Third, the finished bookplate has a refined look and feel.

The Poetical Works of S. T. Coleridge With Memoir, Notes, Etc. by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

ILLUSTRATED VICTORIAN BINDING

Samuel Taylor Coleridge is the premier poet-critic of modern English tradition, distinguished for the scope and influence of his thinking about literature as much as for his innovative verse. Active in the wake of the French Revolution as a dissenting pamphleteer and lay preacher, he inspired a brilliant generation of writers and attracted the patronage of progressive men of the rising middle class. As William Wordsworth’s collaborator and constant companion in the formative period of their careers as poets, Coleridge participated in the sea change in English verse associated with Lyrical Ballads. His poems; speculative, meditative, and strangely oracular, put off early readers but survived the doubts of Wordsworth and Robert Southey to become recognized classics of the romantic idiom.

This weekend we finished the stained glass sign for the Ebon et Noir store and installed it along with the refurbished French lamps. A few weeks ago we also put in a hardwood floor that came out great. I’m thrilled with the progress. The shop is looking absolutely fabulous.
