About this product

Product Information

"Miniature Books" is the first lavishly illustrated, authoritative book on the delightful subject of books no taller than three inches. A dazzling array of books on subjects ranging from Shakespeares plays and the Holy Bible to politics and presidents, childrens books, the pleasures of life, and more are shownwith few exceptionsat their actual size. Here is the prayer book that Anne Boleyn carried to her execution, seen open to its sole illustration, a portrait of Henry VIII. Here also are the worlds two smallest books (impossible to be sure which is tinier). There are books studded with gemstones, books that Napoleon carried with him on his campaigns, books illustrated by artists such as Picasso, Mir, and Edward Gorey. And there is a section dealing with the papers, printing, and binding of these tiny marvels. The text is lively and accessible, full of great stories and fascinating people. It will appeal to the experienced collector, but also to the one just starting out and to anyone who loves the look and feel of a good book.

  • 4,000 years of Miniature Books

    A great book, with wonderful (mostly actual size) pictures, for the book lover whether their tastes extend to miniature printing or not. I've enjoyed it greatly and it's added to my knowledge (and appreciation) for small books. I already have a fiar sized book collection - including miniatures - but this book had a lot of (including historical) fascinating information about this special miniaturized side of the book binder skills. Greatly recommended for any bibliophile.
