For your book-loving boyfriend, an anniversary gift that aligns with his passion for collecting rare books and manuscripts would be truly memorable. Choosing a gift that reflects his interest demonstrates your thoughtfulness and consideration. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that could make his heart skip a beat:

1. Signed First Edition: Research a book written by his favorite author and try to find a signed first edition copy. This gift not only shows that you understand his taste in authors but also reveals your dedication to discovering a rare and unique item for his collection.

2. Custom Bookplate: Surprise him with a personalized bookplate featuring his name or a thoughtful message. A bookplate not only adds a personal touch to his collection but also serves as a reminder of your love and support for his hobby.

3. Book Restoration Service: Find a reputable book restoration service that can revive and repair any vintage or rare books he may have in his collection. This practical gift demonstrates your understanding of his passion and shows your commitment to preserving his treasures.

4. Rare Manuscript Replica: Research a revered manuscript or handwritten letter, such as a Shakespearean sonnet or a letter from a famous historical figure, and seek out a high-quality replica. This unique gift allows him to own a piece of literary history without breaking the bank.

5. Subscription to a Literary Magazine: Surprise him with a subscription to a renowned literary magazine. It provides a continuous source of inspiration, new authors, and a platform to explore contemporary literature. He can enjoy each issue and expand his boundaries as a reader and a collector.

6. Literary-themed Vacation: Plan a trip to a destination that has significance for his favorite author or book. Whether it's visiting a writer's birthplace, exploring a famous literary city, or touring a museum dedicated to literature, this gift combines his love for travel and his passion for books. It creates a romantic and immersive experience that you both can enjoy.

7. Personalized Book Embosser: Enhance his collection by providing him with a custom book embosser. He can use it to emboss his name or initials onto the cover pages of his books, making them even more unique and personal.

Remember, when selecting a gift for someone who appreciates rare books and manuscripts, the thought behind the gift is just as important as the item itself. Whatever you choose, ensure that it is tailored to his specific tastes and interests, making it a truly significant and sentimental anniversary gift.

Or you can get him a star map with the date of your anniversary.
