  (Miniature Books) Bromer, Anna C. and Edison, Julian I. MINIATURE BOOKS: 4,000 YEARS OF TINY TREASURES
New York The Grolier Club and Harry N. Abrams, Inc. 2006 9.5 x 10.5 inches hardcover, dust jacket 216 pages
Miniature books offer a unique perspective to collecting. They are fascinating to all ages, including children and adults, they offer artistic design, and they come in all topics and subjects. Most connoisseurs define the miniature book as a book with a maximum height of three inches or 76 millimeters. Most are readable without a magnifying glass, as the type size is similar to that of a newspaper.

This book explores the beauty, fascination, oddity, amusement, and importance of miniature books. It is the first book to reveal the historical, political, religious, artistic, literary, and social aspects of these tiny books. Chapters include illuminated manuscripts; the art of the book; "Drops of Heavenly Dew"; almanacs for daily living; the smallest books; books for the young; presidents, politics, and propaganda; life's pleasures; and oddities and objets d'art. It discusses various aspects of book design in relation to miniature books including marbling papers, medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, modern manuscripts, optical amusements, primers, bindings, and ancient classics.

Richly illustrated with over 300 color photographs, the book includes an introduction by Anne C. Bromer and Julian I. Edison, a foreword by Stanley Marcus, and a preface by Eric Holzenberg. It was produced to accompany the exhibition held at the Grolier Club from May 15 to July 28, 2007.

  Mitchell, Michael and Susan Wightman BOOK TYPOGRAPHY: A DESIGNER'S MANUAL
Marlborough, Wiltshire Libanus Press 2005 7.25 x 9.25 inches paperback 434 pages
Book Typography: A Designer's Manual is a comprehensive guide to typography and typesetting. Books depend on good design to communicate. Every type of book, from a poetry collection to an encyclopedia, has its own style of communication. This manual describes the principles of good design, why they exist, and how to put them to practice.
Book Typography leads the reader from an understanding of what is a readable text, through the construction of books through all their different forms - novels, illustrated books and complex reference works. The organization of text and the handling of images are explained in detail. Advice is also given on work progression and print management.
Designing books is a visual task and is best demonstrated with visual examples. Book Typography contains over a thousand examples and illustrations showing typographic principles put into practice - from the smallest detail of punctuation to flat plans of entire books. All the samples come from published works and each is labeled with the font used, its size and leading. Additional information and comment is provided in the side notes.
Book Typography defines the industry's technical terminology in the chapter, "The Basic Terms of the Trade". An extensive glossary is also included. It is an essential guide for students and recent graduates hoping to work in book design and publishing.
Book Typography covers every aspect of the book designer's task, providing an invaluable reference to editors, copy-editors, proofreaders, production managers and publishers.
Distributed for Libanus Press. Sales Rights: Worldwide except Europe and the UK; available in Europe and the UK from Libanus Press.
