What is a miniature book?
A miniature book is any book measuring 3 inches or less in height, width, and thickness. Our miniature collection includes macrominiatures, measuring between 3-4 inches, and microminiatures, measuring 1 inch or less. Many visitors are fond of interacting with our miniature books and trying to read them with our magnifying glass!
