I Love Books Bookmark

Two towering stacks of antique volumes, drawn in the fine engraved line of an old print, with three words in between: I ♥ books. There's no hidden meaning to decode here. It says exactly what it means, and the person you're buying it for has almost certainly said it out loud at some point.

It's a nicely judged piece of design — the cream ground and etched detail give it the look of something from a Victorian bookplate or a publisher's catalogue, so the sentiment lands as understated rather than slogan-ish. The red ribbon marker picks up the little heart.

At 48 × 162mm it lies flat in any book. The obvious small gift for a reader: a book club present, a thank you to whoever runs the group, a stocking filler, or the thing you tuck inside a birthday card when you're already giving them a novel.

Come and see the full Museums & Galleries range in the shop — there's always more on the shelves than we can fit online.
