2.  I wore my 'hidden disabilities' thingy around my neck.

3.  Home and having a curry tonight Blush

    3. Bookplate: "a decorative label stuck in the front of a book, bearing the name of the book's owner."

    Some people will know a "bookplate" as "ex libris": Latin for "from the library of".  It means that you own the book and therefore the book forms part of your personal library.

    It can be nice a nice way of feeling your books belong together as a collection.

    If you have a bookplate signed by the author of the book it can be a bit like collecting the author's autograph - but in the context of the relevant book too 

    It can help your lost book to be identified and returned to you. 

    It can also prevent a misunderstanding about who owns the book - for example: if you were to loan a book to someone you know well and trust.

    (Personally, I am always super-reluctant to loan my books to anyone as it csn sometimes later cause tension within the relationship).

    I quite like an "ex libris" label - it is another opportunity to express personal creativity and individualism.  You can choose the design style which appeals to you the most.

    You can hand make your own design and glue them on, you can print them from your computer, you can buy them like sticky labels pre-printed with your name, you can buy ink-stamp ones which ink stamp your name onto the book and there are even luxury versions where a personalised tool (which looks a bit like a stapler) embosses / presses a design into the page as a design made part of the paper itself (some people call it a dry stamp).
