About Me

Today I work as a small publisher, editor, and director of the ASBC&D (American Bookplate Society). I present talks and exhibitions all around. Worked in Boston, Massachusetts graphic arts for many years and now live in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. Plan to establish our society's national headquarters in the San Francisco Bay Area over the next few years.

So, what is a bookplate? It is a mark of pride in the ownership of books. A label that is affixed to the inside front cover of a book. This graphic art has been used for nearly 6 centuries.
