Description: This listing is for the 1956 hardcover book "American Jewish Bookplates" by Philip Goodman. This book is number 30 in a limited edition run of only 300 copies and is inscribed in Hebrew by the author on the first page. This was printed by the American Jewish Historical Society in New York. There are 64 different bookplates pictured with extensive text on American Jewish Bookplates. This 216-page book measures 6 1/4" x 9 1/4" and is in very good condition with some discoloration to the covers. The inside pages are in excellent condition. From the introduction: Bookplates or ex libris are handwritten, printed or engraved labels attached to books as identification marks of their ownership. A large number of such bookplates are truly works of art. Many of them were owned by persons prominent in history and reveal their interests and characteristics. We have defined Jewish bookplates as ex libris of Jewish owners regardless of the artists or the designs. A broader definition, which we consider unacceptable, embraces all ex libris executed by Jewish artists.? Since it is "... customary to regard all plates used by residents of America as American plates even if made in a foreign country,"s we have also used this principle in defining American Jewish bookplates." Please see the many photos for more detail. Money-back guarantee.
