Sobre este artículo
Sheppard Press, London, first edition, 1981. Cloth, 8vo, 22 cm,. 221 pp, ills, facs. From the blurb : "Miniature books - that is books not more than 3 inches (76 mm) in height - have always fascinated booklovers. A good number of manuscript volumes still exist, but this history begins with the advent of printing. It tells their story, from the Officium Beatae Virginis Mariae printed by Mathias Moravius in Naples in A.D. 1486 to the present time when new printing methods, and perhaps a growing belief that small is beautiful, have greatly increased the number of enthusiastic collectors. It deals chronologically and in detail with their development, with changes in taste and fashion and with technical advances: it has sections on special subjects including devotional books, costume, erotica, gastronomy, song books and topography; it describes some of the more curious items and publishers' bindings; it reviews current production, assesses prospects for the future and mentions some of the principal collections and collectors. There are more than sixty illustrations, a good bibliography and, of course, an index. Top edge duststained, page edges agetoned, otherwise Very Good in a dustwrapper.which is (as usual) rather browned.

Sobre Wykeham Books
We specialize chiefly in "books about books", the emphasis being on historical aspects of book collecting, production and distribution. A particular speciality is in bibliographies, of all subjects of interest to collectors, dealers and scholars, with several thousand bibliography titles in stock. Other strengths include extensive holdings of auction catalogues for book sales and a good selction of reference material on and facsimiles of illuminated manuscripts. We also have a special interest in rare material by or about Rudyard Kipling.
