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.
