I was in a little book store that knows me well and the owner has an illustrated bookplate or (tip sheet - it was not numbered and had no space for numbering) and I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it

Then he'd place them in the book and sell it as having "a signed, laid-in bookplate." I did that for him with a lot of titles back in the 80s.

what's a bookplate?

A bookplate is a little piece of art (sometimes signed) made to glue into an existing book, sometime they are signed.
Some people also get ones that say "From the library of" for themselves marking the book as theirs
