Typewriter Plates for Collectors?
Lately I've been talking to a few people about book plates for book collectors who occasionally loan out their books. After the owner has died, these also become a part of the material culture and are used as provenance for future book collectors, librarians, and researchers. These discussions have overlapped in some recent typosphere events including Sarah Everett asking for photos of repair shop labels, Lucas Dul having printed some repair shop stickers for Typewriter Chicago, and […]https://boffosocko.com/2026/03/21/typewriter-plates-for-collectors/

Noodling around with #bookplates (as personal as key fobs) and collecting 1999-2009 State quarters (which were issued chronologically with their entry into the Union). Mississippi, Illinois (native), and North Carolina out-of-pocket.

A new digital exhibit of bookplates from Marquette University's library has just launched. Explore the growing collection here: https://specialcollections.raynordslab.org/om/s/plates/page/welcome
