In this case what you're missing is that what the OP is asking for is not a
template for creating multiple different but similar documents (as you might
with, say, a report template) but a template that includes a design. The
templates I pointed to online are of this type. They include graphics and
layout, requiring only that the user add a name. So in this sense, templates
are available and are useful to those (like me) who have only minimal design
skills.

Subcommander mini-max is making up lies and fantasies about me again.
I never said such a template doesn't exist.
I implied that there would be no point in such a template, because
bookplates are one-off things.
I'm not responsible for the fact that subcommander mini-max doesn't
know what a bookplate is or is for (and that ducksrusmrducks may not
know the usual name for what he's looking for, but it was fully
identifiable from his description "This Book Belongs To book label".
Moreover, since in my response I supplied the usual name for what he
was looking for, if he still wanted such a template he would be able
to search for it and, as Suzanne found, find some.)
The world would be a much better place if subcommander mini-max would
simply never again look at any posting from me (and would stop sending
me emails).

Ms. Barnhill,
Who said anyting was unreasonable? Call it whatever you like As is often
the case Mr. Daniels was wrong. The OP posted looking for a template and
not Mr. Daniels' erroneous statement that one doesn't exist or for what
books on typograhpy may have to say about them. He didn't know the answer.
Since he didn't and you did, the perhhaps he should have left the question
for you.

I don't think it's unreasonable to interpret a label that says "This
Book Belongs To" as being a bookplate. Yes, it's possible that the OP
meant to put the label on the outside of the book, but the inside is
what I also assumed, and that would be a bookplate. There is in fact
a bookplate template at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...033.aspx?Categ....
There are also bookplates for schoolbooks at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...033.aspx?Categ...
I'm guessing that these are intended for use in a single teacher's
classroom library.
There's one that actually says "THIS BOOK BELONGS TO" (with a flower
design) at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...033.aspx?Categ...
the same design in B&W is at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...033.aspx?Categ...
I found these by googling for "bookplate template," which also turns
up many more such, including one from Avery. A Google Images search
is even more productive.

There's no standard design for bookplates. Books on typography often
use bookplates to show the imagination of designers!
Mr. Daniels,
Who said anything about bookplates or books on typograhpy? The OP
asked for a label template that happened to have the text "This Book
Belongs To"
Again, if you don't know the answer (you rarely ever do) then it is OK
to leave the question for those who do. In this case Mr. Graham
Mayor.
