| One of the bookplate images sent by Tracy Munn |
On at least five occasions grand children or great grandchildren of bookplate designers have spotted a blog posting I've written and have sent me information about their grandparents.
I wrote about Katherine Bartholomew back in 2010. Recently Tracy Munn ,, her grand daughter sent me a photograph of her grand mother along with scans of some bookplates not shown in my original checklist.
Here is a link to the updated blog posting.

I've spoken to a few collectors who are intimidated by its size (over 2500 bookplates to choose from)
My suggestion is to spend fifteen minutes a day selecting the items that interest you.
