Miniature books are generally understood to be books
under three inches in height and width. Originally, miniature books
were practical affairs, made small to be easily carried with you in a
bag or on your person. Now, book artists from around the world work
with both traditional and experimental techniques to create fascinating
hand-made books of all descriptions. Carpe Libris is proud to have
this award-winning book maker in our list of private presses.
