The Knock Knock Personal Library Kit was a huge hit with our eight year old twin granddaughters, who immediately took care of as many books as they could! They loved the concept, and I love the fact that it's teaching them to share their books rather than fight over who has the rights to which book! One problem I noticed later: the extra library cards I had ordered are too big for the pockets, and require folding. So, unless you want to trim a bunch of cards, think twice before ordering the extras, which are not a match.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend who is a librarian. Nicely packaged for gift-giving. A cute/novel gift idea.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for a friend who is a Librarian. She absolutely loved it and it was the perfect "Secret Santa" gift for her.

I love the Knock-Knock brand of products and am so excited to get this - They have such unique and funny items that make great gifts for just about anyone.

I LOVE the Knock Knock Personal Library Kit. I was so sad when my local library went digital, printing out receipts. It's not the same. But I saw this kit and I soared! I use my pockets in the front cover of each one of my books and I stamp the date I received the book. I love using them with my Penguin Classic Hardcover books. Those are beautiful and with these personal library cards, I am taken back to those sweet days when you would go to the library and find that perfect book to take home with you and the librarian would open the book and stamp that card and you would be forever engrained in the history of this book. Nostalgic, anyone?

I have no complaints. I keep everything tucked neatly into the box it came in. There is a little plastic cover that slips in to cover and everything stays put pretty well. The nostalgic detail in the cards and the space to write "From the Library of" is a nice touch. The only thing I could think of is that maybe some variety in colors for the pockets would be nice. The orange/coral color against the creme is fine though.

Conclusion: Well worth the buy. As the product feature states, "Channel your inner librarian". Once my stamp pad runs dry or the stamp runs past the date, I will definitely repurchase the kit. For anyone who loves librarys and books, they will definitely adore this product.

This is an adorable kit and will make a wonderful Christmas present for my friend (who is forever lending out books and forgetting who has them). I was surprised by how small the kit actually is. But when I think about it, it's not really nessisary for it to be very large. Stamps and pockets aren't all that big. Good product, decent price.

As a book lover, I am always looking for ways to keep my collection organized. I also want to keep my beloved older books, perhaps those with some financial as well as emotional value, in as close to heirloom condition as possible. Yes, my family reads books and,yes,we don't treat them with kid gloves.

However, we also know that pasting anything into a book reduces it's value- with rare exceptions. At the very least....before using this kit, check out the value of your books before permanently attaching anything to it.

Simply do a search online to see how books are priced according to condition. or use a reference book ABC for Book Collectors on book collecting, one includes resources for appraisal ( many are free). The book listed above - and it's link- is there only as one example of resources.

Have a valuable book? Pick up an inexpensive edition and use the library kit to keep track of it. But keep the collectible copy as pristine as possible.

Why? Because a valuable - pr potentially valuable - book which is described as "new" or " like new" is NOT a book which has library cards in it. Think your books will never increase greatly in value? So have other book buyers who later discover that a true first edition of Harry Potter soared in value ( haven't checked recent prices on those). So while this library kit is definitely appealing and attractive, just be sure to "vet" or check prices on your books,especially those which are older or out of print - before using The Personal Library Kit.

Otherwise,you could end up with books which go from valuable to being worth mere pennies. Just some cautions here.
