International Book Giving Day

9 February, 2012 by Alex

This is a lovely thing, taking place on February 14th.

I’ve seen that Viv Schwarz and Clara Vulliamy have made lovely book plates to stick inside the book you donate – so I thought I’d do the same!

There are also some great ideas for book giving over on the Playing By The Book blog!

Here’s Harold the Hamster, being all giving. Click on him for a hi-res version!

UPDATE: And now you can also download with a dedication and border. Click for biggie!
