A nice biography with a specific focus — the bookplate. Well organized, but some of the chapters went into the future, and then the next chapter brought the reader back years or decades. I would have preferred straight chronological order, but each chapter had a focus, so I understand the reason why.

Great forward, too! I usually skip the front and end matter...!

Informative and intriguing. Myriad illustrations of beautiful bookplates.
