I never run paid advertising but I am always pleased to promote book shows, Book Sales and Booksellers .It is tough out there in the real world if you are running an independent bookstore.
Here are two noteworthy announcements
I received this email from Curtis Kise the owner of Neighborhood Books after I visited his store and complimented him on the attractive and reasonably priced framed bookplates he had for sale.

Support The Bookplate Society
A new collector asked me yesterday why he should join The Bookplate Society
http://www.bookplatesociety.org/
My response was Trust Me. Do It.
Perhaps I was too brusque so I will elaborate.
The Bookplate Society publishes well researched and profusely illustrated books about bookplates.
I use them frequently.In addition , most members go out of their way to assist me when I have questions about heraldry.Beyond that the member's bookplate auctions provide an opportunity to buy items for your collection.

This book is currently available to non-members.
Price is £24 which is $31 and for a 1kg parcel Royal Mail quote £13.50, in other words $17.25, which I find grim but ipost and MyHermes are still more expensive. So a total of $48.25 to non-members living outside the EU.
Item Description: The Bookplate Society, London, 2016. Soft cover. 199p. Publishers stiff wrapper. A biographical descriptions of 22 families and their bookplates with 249 black & white illustrations and an Appendix.
