The Ticknor Society


The Ticknor Society is an organization of book collectors, booksellers, librarians, historians, archivists, conservators, printers, publishers, writers, and all lovers and readers of books. We are dedicated to the enjoyment, promotion, and support of books and book culture. George Ticknor used several bookplates throughout his life, including the small engraved one shown here bearing the motto, "Suum cuique," Latin for "To each his own."
