Miniatures and Midgets
Miniature books are first classified on size with no dimensions in any direction exceeding three inches or 7,8cm. Midgets (or a mini, if you will permit) go slightly over these dimensions, but do not exceed 4.5 inches in either direction. they are the little wonders of the book world often requiring a magnifying glass and tweezers to catalog and turn pages, not alone read. They cover the full spectrum of subject matter from teeny-tiny bibles to date books, the later which baffle me as it requires equal stature and pen to make entries. Enjoy, there are much more on the way!
