Olde Curse Bookplates (set of 10)

Description

Do you hate it when someone borrows your books and never returns them?
Are you, or someone you know, a curmudgeonly bibliophile?

If so, then consider purchasing these Olde Curse Bookplates with your hard-earned cash. These bookplates feature the Curse Against Book Theft from the San Pedro Monastery, in Barcelona:

"For him that stealeth a book from this library, let it change into a serpent in his hand & rend him. Let him be struck with palsy, & all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain crying aloud for mercy, & let there be no surcease to his agony till he sink to dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the Wyrm that dieth not, & when at last he goeth to his final punishment, let the flames of hell consume him forever & aye."

Made from heavy ivory colored paper, easy to write your name on - personalize your favorite books, as well as discourage book theft, all in one fell swoop!

These bookplates are 5"h x 3"w, archival quality, self-adhesive. Just peel off the plastic and adhere to book (the adhesive is permanent).

The bookplates come in a recycled handmade envelope, perfect for gift-giving.
