Edit: Also, anyone who was wanting to actually translate the text written in the book. It (after much searching on my part) is NOT written in any of the Hylian language scripts, according to FG, "The text is written in WW script, which is based on Japanese with a different set of characters."

A bookplate is just a stick that goes on the inside cover of a book. No metal involved.

A bookplate, also known as ex-libris [Latin, "from the books of..."], is usually a small print or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the inside front cover, to indicate its owner.

Can finally update you guys.

Mine came shipped inside two bubble mailers. For reference, the dust jacket is not perfectly mint, but plenty good enough for me being that this book is a fan made item I plan to use rather than leave sealed. The elusive gold bookplate was included in the little bag of extras that came included. There was also a sticker, pin, collectible card, and an ad for other fangamer merch.



Quote from back of card says, "I heard _______ made an appearance at the Runaway Five show. I missed it 'cause I was in the bathroom. I'll hate bathrooms for the rest of my life." Did you guys get EarthBound cards too or did I just get lucky??

Pin was a Banjo Kazooie puzzle piece (meh)

Sticker was a pixelated Link (woo)



Thanks to xhunter and Ms. Fry and fangamer and a little online research I now know what bookplates are. Apparently I should read more books.
