Elizabeth Ripley’s artist biographies are true living art books. The new editions reprinted by Purple House Press are simply gorgeous. You can learn more about the Elizabeth Ripley books, here.

We are particularly thrilled that Purple House Press chose to offer the option of adding 8 prints with the book. The prints are on high-quality card stock with just the right amount of sheen.

Building on an idea from Sherry Early of Meriadoc Homeschool Library, I am keeping my books in 1″ 3-ring binder with the prints in sheet protectors. I decided to make spine labels that would draw my patrons over to the shelf.

Download the labels for your own use, here.

Also, I decided to make fronts for the binders as well. I could have used the gorgeous book covers, but they are ink-heavy and have dark borders. Instead, I opted to use the equally beautiful title pages since they are elegant and light. If you wish to borrow my work for yourself, grab it here.
