"Miniature Books: 4,000 Years of Tiny Treasures" by Anne C. Broomer and Julian I. Edison Abrams

When you hold a miniature book in your hand, it is like a small, precious jewel. "Miniature Books: 4,000 Years of Tiny Treasures" is the first lavishly illustrated, authoritative volume on the delightful subject of books no taller than three inches. "Miniature Books" is filled with great stories and fascinating people - a prayer book that Anne Boleyn carried, a tiny tome that Napoleon took on his campaigns. Its dazzling array is shown--with few exceptions--at actual size: Miro's "Pointe de Mire" is only one inch by one inch and Picasso's "Temperature" is a mere seven-eighths of an inch by one inch. "Miniature Books" speaks not only to the experienced collector, but also to just anyone who loves a novel volume! - Christie Cure, Mitchell's Book Corner Nantucket Bookworks 25 Broad Street, 228-4000
