A New Curated Collection: Miniature Books

Miniature books are a small but sweet subsection of the artist book world. In the United States, books are considered miniature if they measure three inches or less in any dimension. In Europe miniature books can be slightly larger. You'll find everything from fine press and artist books to pop-up books to print on demand miniatures. Their small size presents some very interesting binding challenges as well as a unique design opportunity in a compact format. There is even a non-profit organization devoted to miniature book collectors, The Miniature Book Society.
