If you’ve been writing more letters lately to help support the United States Postal Service, you’re not alone. The USPS is an invaluable resource for everyone, including book lovers, so it makes sense that you’d want to take advantage of all its services to help keep it afloat. I’ve been an avid letter writer for as long as I can remember, but only within the last few years did I start trying to jazz things up a bit. As usual, Pinterest overwhelmed me with ideas that seemed a bit beyond my simple paper-folding abilities, but I soon realized I could make my letters a little more personal and fun with rubber stamps. Fortunately, there are loads of bookish rubber stamps out there. By adding to your collection of bookish rubber stamps, you can support small business as well as the USPS, since many Etsy shops use the USPS to ship their goods. Even better, you can declare your love of books to the recipients of your letters with a well-placed and charming illustration with the help of bookish rubber stamps.
For full disclosure, while the majority of stamps listed are the typical rubber stamp, you’ll also find some made of other materials such as silicon. If this is important to you, please be sure to read the linked listing carefully.
