Book Plates/Stamps
Do you mark the books you own with bookplates or stamps? If so, what do you use and where do you get them?
For the record, I don't mark mine because I want the option of selling them back to the used book store or, if I want to keep them, I don't want to lower the value.

Sort of related - my dad and his friends used to cycle books through their little group, and when they read a book, they would initial on the fist page in pencil. Then they would know who had already read it, so they could make sure to pass it on to someone else. That way they were assured to not get the same books back. Now they all have Nooks/Kindles, so they've donated away all their initialed paperbacks.

I don't mark mine, but I got a huge kick out of doing the fancy plates when I was a kid. I have a ton of books from my childhood with fancy script book plates and my little-kid handwriting.
Similar to Susie, my grandmother was part of a paperback book-share when I was a teen, and one of the rules of the share was that the books couldn't be written in. The women devised a complicated marking system to make sure they didn't choose a book they'd already read, so you'd find odd marks throughout the books if you paid attention. My grandmother would make a dot on the first word of the 10th page with a yellow highlighter. Oh, getting away with bending the rules!
I don't. I buy a lot of mine at the library book sale and then if I don't love them, donate them back.
My Mom is notorious in our family for writing her name in ALL the books in the house when she was little - even the ones that clearly weren't hers. Her brothers and sisters still make fun of her for it. I think it's part of the reason I try to keep my books so clean and unmarked.

When I was younger, I used to have stickers I loved that I put in all my books. They had a golden retriever with reading glasses on. If I still had them I would put them in my books.
