Default book label?

Mr. Daniels,

I think it is you with the lock on stupid. Do you try to be stupid or does
it come naturally?


Do you just babble here without any idea what you actually post?



He somehow thinks that I said anything about bookplates being used in
books on typography.



Yes he does. If you didn't post this then someone is posting using your
name:

"There's no standard design for bookplates. Books on typography often use
bookplates to show the imagination of designers!"


You are arguing in circles again. First you challenge Graham Mayor's
suggestion and now you champion it. If you weren't such a dilattante you
might realize that a Word template is still a template regardless if is used
as a tool for creating letters, creating labels, or creating bookplates.
Continue in your arguments as you wish. You are simply over your head and
out of your range.

He fails to understand that what is needed for your request is not a
template sort of tool, but a labels sort of tool -- as Graham has
suggested.

He fails to understand that everyone's bookplate is an individual
creation, which reflects your own needs and taste, and not someone
else's.

Perhaps subcommander mini-max's thirty years in the Navy drummed all
imagination and creativity out of him and left him with nothing but an
ache for the power he no longer has, to regulate the lives of the
dozens of men at his mercy.

ducksrusmrducks,

You have probably deduced from the replies to your question that
Peter T. Daniels is a troll who lurks here with self proclaimed,
mystical powers of comprehension. He is a very sensitive reader and
he is renowned, in his own mind, for his ability to read for content
rather than context. He frequently claims to know what people really
mean. He also claims the uncanny ability to intuit what is actually
going on from what is unsaid.

You made a pretty straightforward request: Need "This Book Belongs
To" book label template.

I’ll leave it for you to decide the merit of Mr. Daniels’ reply and
his later admission that he was implying that the template you sought
was pointless. I am curious. Did you really want such a template or
did you just want Mr. Daniels’ to dodge the request, give you a
proper name, and share some meaningless trivia on how bookplates are
used in books on typography?

Moving past the bluster from under the bridge, I hope that you found
the information provided by Mr. Mayor and Ms. Barnhill useful. This
newsgroup was a much better place before Mr. Daniels crawled from the
slime and arrived on scene.

Good luck.
