Where Should a Bookplate Be Placed?

where the plate should go, find a suitable place for it elsewhere near the front of the book, such as elsewhere on the inside front cover, on the page facing the inside front cover, or on the page one page in from the front cover, always 1/3 of the way down in the middle if possible.

Where do you put a bookplate?

Nowadays, bookplates are usually affixed to the inside cover or front matter using a sticker or a stamp. Bookplates have also taken on a variety of uses. They are still widely used to indicate ownership, but they can also be used to display an author's signature or otherwise personalize a book.

How do you mount a bookplate?

Hold the plate firmly with a finger and then brush the paste from the centre outwards - do not overload the plate with paste; better to add a little more. I hold the plate above the required position and then carefully, but deliberately, place it onto the book and smooth it down.
