An Oldie Tiny-Mini Book On The Bookshelf


It has been a while since I've posted about books. This one is about miniature books. They sure are tiny! I never knew there were so many of them. Not to mentioned the truly old ones.
The old ones are nothing like the kind that you find in stationery (Hallmark, etc) stores. How can the printer print something so tiny?! You got to be real careful, I suppose. You can see how some are the size of a penny! These are just perfect for Tom Thumb and Thumbelina, ha. It's so easy for the tiniest ones, to get lost in the garden, without ever finding them! I'd need a huge magnifier! or a dog who knows how to sniff for books without chewing them.
