I friend Jill Timm has opened two spring websites called
http://www.miniaturebooks.com
and
http://www.mysticalplaces.com
Jill is one of the foremost designers of small or miniature books and
she's going to be presenting her products on these websites. This is a
place to talk about miniaturebooks. Jill will be at a book convention (or
something like that) next week and passing out the url in hopes that this
site will start picking up traffic.

I am all curiosity about the little books. I shall inspect the sites you mention and get back in here to comment. Sounds fascinating. I had a few as a childand wish I still had them (as I do have most of my books from throughout my
life.)

These are more like works of art than miniature books (the form of art they take). Done by hand on Banana paper make me think she should be closer to Hawaii than Austin... Another is done of dark blue stock as a photo album and all are in the $65 range (plus shipping)...all hand done with Jill's photographs in them. Size is 2.5" x 3" for the blue one and has 40 pages. Check them out.

I think the little books thing is a trend, I saw quite a few of them when
I went to BookPeople the other day. But then, my consciousness was raised
after seeing what Jill was doing. Even the books for dummies series has
some miniscule versions.

that's so you can carry them around and the whole world doesn't have to know you're a dummy at anything! *heehee*
