What reading level is Concerning book Plates book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" "Study and comparison of warming pans ! Even an old warming pan is an enviable piece of portable property compared with a book plate. .... It seems about as agreeable a possession as an old postage stamp. " Well, we know of those who put a great deal of time, money, and enthusiasm into the collecting of postage stamps and dignify their hobby by calling it philately. The collector of ex-libris is not to be lightly put aside. He is only one kind of a biblio- phile. Anyone with a hobby is to be ...envied, not de- rided. "Here lies Smith, who was nothing, not even a collector of postage stamps, " would not be the epitaph of a cheerful man.
The size of a collector's library, it must be confessed, is usually in inverse ratio to the number of personal plates which he owns. An amateur with too many individual plates is to be looked upon with suspicion. "A fool and io Bibliographical Society of America his book plate are soon parted, " said Thomas Bailey Aldrich, in characterizing those who have a book plate primarily for purposes of exchange with other collectors.
