What, oh what to give for the holidays? Something that demonstrates economic responsibility but doesn’t feel repressive; something fun yet with substance; something personal but not icky.

A book? Maybe even a signed one?

If that’s your choice, here’s for you: bookplates, of three flavors: with the cover of The Language of Bees or The Beekeeper’s Apprentice–

–or just plain vanilla signed plates, with no specific book.

They’re yours, free, gratis, and without charge, if you send a self-addressed stamped envelope, with a note saying which of the three you’d like, to:
