I do wish the crop hadn't mangled it: While you go get lithographs that go to the edge of the paper, this is never the case with book plates. Weak support, but solely due to the book's rarity making it very hard to get an acceptable copy. I'm a bit worried this is a bad, bad precedent, though.

Support - Per Adam, although I note that we can D&R if Adam finds a copy in, say, London. I've considered nominating this before, but... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:28, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I live in Scotland, London's most of a day's journey away, and noted for the expense of the hotels there, making it impractical at best to do research there. Maybe if I can go to this year's Wikicup, but unless it has a meeting at the British Library or Royal Society, I doubt much'll come of it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 05:19, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Fair enough (though I envy that Wikimania is so close to you!) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:44, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - If I get to go to it: August is going to be an interesting month, and I might not have the days free. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 08:18, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
