Excerpt from the Introduction: "The 2005 keepsake of The Book club of California is a response to the continuing widespread interest in and, indeed, fascination with bookplates. The universe of the subject matter of bookplates is immense, and the number of them put into use or collected in the more than five centuries of their existence in the Western world is great. In order to make the task of putting this keepsake together manageable, the initiator of the project decided to restrict the bookplates illustrated in the keepsake to those that were in the exhibits of The Book Club of California of 1913, 1953, and 2002.".
