A decorative label, featuring an adhesive backing, designed to be affixed to the inside cover of a book, bearing the signature of the author or another individual of significance. As an example, a reader may acquire a novel and subsequently obtain a separate adhesive label personally inscribed by the author, which is then adhered to the book’s front endpaper.
These autographed labels enhance the collectibility and personal value of a volume. They offer a convenient alternative to direct inscription within the book itself, particularly when in-person signings are impractical. Historically, these have allowed authors to reach a wider audience, enabling them to personalize books distributed through various channels, including online retailers or promotional events.
