SWay back before computers and e-readers there were these lovely things called books, and one of the best ways to indicate that a book was your book and not someone else's book was to stamp it with a decorative label commonly known as an ex libris (Latin for "from the books of..."), followed by your name.Albert Einstein's ex libris was created from a doodle he drew up (probably in the margins of a paper describing the photoelectric effect, or something) and depicts a solitary stargazer, perched atop a mountain with arms spread wide, soaking in the celestial dreamscape that is the Universe. It is, in a word, awesome. Typical Einstein.[TOR]
