Hi! I'm Jane.
My name is Jane Mount, and I started Ideal Bookshelf in 2008. Here we make things for bibliophiles, so you can show off your book love in all kinds of ways. I believe books make us better, allowing us to visit other people's lives and understand them. And books connect us, to characters, to authors, and, most importantly, to each other.
I'm also the author and illustrator of Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany, the coauthor (with Jamise Harper) and illustrator of Bibliophile: Diverse Spines, and the coauthor (with Thessaly La Force) and illustrator of My Ideal Bookshelf. My first book for kids is Books Make Good Friends, and there's also an Activity Book that goes with it.

I am a baker so I just love the cookbook inspired notecards. They are well made on nice heavy paper stock. I always receive compliments when sending them. They bring a smile to my face as well as to the recipients! I also buy them for gifts. I received them in a very timely manner.
A beautiful gift for book loving friends. After shopping around, nothing compared to Ideal Bookshelf when it came to beautiful visuals, customizability, and the ease of printing / framing
My daughter has given me the gift of a personal shelf print twice. I love having a record of the books that are important to me and how that list changes over time. Now I have to have a separate print for children’s books!
I hung the prints in the stairwell. They make me smile every day!
I loved the art and titles on the Spines & Vines mug, but missed out on ordering it when it was in stock. I'm so glad I was able to reorder. The art looks great and I'm so excited to use it.
wonderful illustrations and selections of books - love to send them to my food-friends!
It fits exactly as described. I get MANY comments on it both in the bookstore where I work, and everywhere else I go. Great quality, great graphics, great message.
Love it!
Books! Beautifully drawn! What's not to like?
It’s perfect and it looks lovely next to my other pins on my bag, I would recommend it
After reading "The Alchemist," I wanted a memento for my adventures, so I visited Ideal Bookshelf for a pin. They made the process quick and easy, and I look forward to stopping by regularly.
Super cute!
Saw this while I was looking to see if any merch had ever really been made for Left Hand of Darkness, and unexpectedly found this adorable pin! It’s pretty small, with glitter on the mountains and snow— I love how that helps the design pop. The rubber back is pretty firmly attached, so no worries about losing it if you wear it. Fast shipping, too. A wonderful purchase!
