Who it’s for

For the reader with a large home library who lends books and would like them back.

Also for the author who gives signed copies.

You place it on the page and squeeze, and there is no ink to dry or smudge.

Three things to know

  • Presses a raised mark into the paper, usually on the title page or an endpaper.
  • Engraved with the name or wording you give; the listing offers designs such as “From the Library of” and “Ex Libris”.
  • The maker says each one is engraved by hand in Nashville, Tennessee.

Good to know

I have not tested this product. I describe it from the Amazon listing as it read on 9 October 2026, so check the listing for current details. It is made to order, so check the delivery time on the listing, and order early if it is for Christmas. Check which design is selected and check the spelling of the name twice. The listing is marked non-returnable.
