The story behind Eleanor's Stamp
Eleanor pressed her name into every book she ever owned. Not with a pen. With a small brass tool she kept beside the fireplace.
First her own books. Then her children's. Then her grandchildren's. When friends started asking, she realised she wasn't the only one who felt this way.
When she passed, we found 340 books in her house. Every single one had her name in it.
"A book without your name in it is just borrowed."
— Eleanor, 1987
Every book you love deserves your name in it.
Eleanor pressed her name into every book she ever owned. Not with a pen. Not with a sticker. With a small brass tool she kept beside the fireplace — the same design we still make today.
One press. Permanent. Completely yours.
