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.
Wirecutter ❤️ Ideal Bookshelf

We love you, too, Wirecutter!
We also love their 13 other recommendations... especially the Libro.fm gift bundle.
Let customers speak for us
All my favorite books on my phone!! The case is sturdy and fit my phone perfectly. The books are adorable and it shipped within the time frame listed. Couldn’t be happier!
I love it! It’s perfect. Was going to give as a gift but I’m keeping it! May have to order another one for my co worker, Nancy!
An absolute gorgeous pin, filled with tiny details that bring me so much joy.

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!
The mug came out beautifully! I asked if the mug could arrive in time for my husband's birthday, and they finished and sent it with plenty of time. I can't wait to give it to my husband! Thank you, Jane!
Perfect for those who can't choose or with many interests! I've already framed and gifted 2 as small prints!
Jane made me a custom print of the books that made me a reader. I couldn't be happier! The print is beautiful, the framing is great, and the shipping was super. I love the way it grounds me when I walk past it.
Beautiful quality notecards to send to your avid readers. Love these & the Cookbook set. Had to buy both!!
I love my new mug! The print I chose has so many of my favorite books on it and seeing them while I drink my tea makes me smile. The quality is excellent!
fabulous and beautiful work! did arrive in a bent package which wasn’t great. but loved the art.
Jane took my childhood favorites and made them into a custom print that makes me smile whenever I walk by it!
