The Jane Austen Literacy Foundation Bookplate Shop is here!
Bookplates are a traditional way to indicate ownership of physical books and were commonly used in Jane Austen's time. Bookplates can play an important role in teaching our children the value of books and stimulate conversation about which are your favourite books and why. You can also enjoy the sheer pleasure of marking one of your favourite books with a beautifully designed bookplate, personalised with your name in Jane Austen’s handwriting.
Choose from our Collection and enter the name you would like on the bookplate - they make a great gift! Your bookplates will be emailed to you within 3 days, ready to print, cut and paste into your favourite book.
