Pickled Stamps from The Library of | Ex Libris | Floral Book Stamp | Personalized Book Embosser | Custom Library Embosser | Self-Inking Wood Handle Floral 2

Beautiful, I have stamped close to 1,000 books and it’s still going strong! The stamp works wonderfully and doesn’t smudge or leave half impressions. This is such a fun little touch to add a little whimsy to any home library!

I purchased an embosser for my daughter-in-law who loves to read as a birthday gift, I have one and she loved it. The design I picked for her was not very noticeable on the pages, very light, hard to read and hard to press down on. I purchased this around Christmas time and by the time her birthday came the return window had closed. I reached out to them and they sent a reply right away, they were very helpful and sent me a new one I got to select a new design and no troubles. I would highly recommend this vendor to anyone :-) If your a reader and loan your books out what a great way to show where they came from. Great gift idea!

The stamp is wonderful! I do recommend going a bit bigger on gold stickers if you choose to use those. The stickers were a bit too small.

Works well, price is good

Turned out better than expected. I got the wooden stamp and I love it! I want to stamp everything with it!

Be VERY careful when ordering from this seller! Even though they offer multiple font styles that appear as though they will be totally legible when you preview them on the computer, you might not be able to make out what it says when you actually receive it. I ordered an embosser, and chose a script style font for my name, that appeared to be completely legible when I ordered, however, when I received it, only the capital letters of the name are legible and the lowercase are all just an illegible blob that can't be deciphered. I reached out to the seller and they claim that because my name is exactly 2 digits longer than their example (two of which are spaces and one is a period) they had to shrink the font to fit. They also feel they can make out the font, however, myself and otherd i havr shown it to all disagree and feel only the capital letters are legible. Apparently they had to shrink it so much that you can no longer read the name clearly making it a waste of money. It is quite poor that they offer fonts that won't actually be legible when using the product, or that they don't give an accurate example when you order, or at the very least want you that they will shrink the font significantly. I was so excited about getting the embosser for my books, and this was an utter disappointment and waste of money.

I bought this for my daughter because I knew that she would love it, but I didn't realize how much. It was easy to set up (only have to insert the stamp into the press, and it just clicks into place,) and it comes in a nice pouch for storage. After testing it out on some different thicknesses of scrap paper, I noticed that the two "Os" tend to punch through the paper with full pressure because the text is pretty small around the top edge. Less than full pressure tends to cause the top of the center flower to be less pronounced than the rest of the stamp. (I got the design with the open book with the flowers growing out of it.) I'm being a bit nit-picky here, though. The stamp is easy to use and requires firm pressure to "bottom-out" the grip, but it definitely has a positive stop once full compression is reached. The text is legible (although small) and the overall design is beautiful. The customization was very fast (I think overall, it only took 2-3 days to receive it, including normal shipping.) The customized text font is pretty, although it too, is a bit small for perfect readability. The top and bottom plates align perfectly upon full compression and provide for an even embossing. Overall, if the text (both "standard" and custom) was a bit larger (or maybe more "open") and the top of the flower was a bit more pronounced, I think this would have been a perfect purchase. Please do not let my hyper-critical points deter your purchase of this stamp--it's definitely worth it and if you're thinking about buying one of these, just click "buy now" and you won't regret it.

Gift for my Niece and she absolutely LOVES it!! Amazing design and quality! Came super fast too can’t recommend enough for book lover gift!
