The cultivation of a personal library is often seen as a Jewish value in its own right, and the use of a personal bookplate affirms the importance the collector places on his own particular relationship to his books. The collection and careful preservation of these ex-libris contain both personal bookplates and those of Jewish congregations and other institutions. It includes those designed by such leading artists as E.M. Lilien, whose ex-libris is here accompanied by his autograph signature.
