An Ex-libris rubber stamp, sometimes referred to as a ‘this book belongs to’ rubber stamp is a must have for the bookworm or proud book owner.
If you frequently lend out books to friends and family, it is a delightful and tasteful way to use a purpose made rubber stamp instead of scribbling your name somewhere in the book plate. They make really lovely gifts too. If you prefer to personalise your ex-libris rubber stamp and want either the convenience of a self-inking rubber stamp or the nostalgia of a traditional styled wooden stamp, Stamps Plus can help you.
