Save the seals
Remember how bookbinders and retailers used to advertise their services by posting company labels on the inside covers of books? No? Well a fellow named Greg Kindall, who runs a website called Sevenroads.org, certainly does, and he’s assembled a fantastic virtual museum of book trade labels, which you can see for yourself here.
It’s kind of shocking, when you see them all laid out in front of you, how much care and effort went into the design of some of these things. Does the book trade even have the time and/or money and/or inclination create stuff like this now?
We particularly love the label from the Book Stall in Battle Creek, Michigan, with the little roosters…
