If someone you love loves books, loves sharing them with friends and wants them back some day, get her some Felix Doolittle bookplates — personalized or left to be filled in with the book owner’s name.
All 92 bookplate choices are decorated with Felix Fu’s delicate and beautiful watercolor illustrations of trees, birds, fruit and more. Fu — who was born 49 years ago in Hong Kong and who now calls Newton, Mass., home — also lends his full-color artwork to self-adhesive baker’s labels and stationary. You even can commission him to draw your home and drop it onto notecards or other stationary.
