MINIATURE BOOKS COLLECTION

1980s EA/HU/0082

How small is too small? Some say it’s 8pt, others are annoyed at 10pt already. Depends how sharp your sight is. Hungary was one of the finest producers of miniature books between the 1940s and the 1980s, especially of multilingual tomelets like these in the collection. A rare example of a short-lived phenomenon that is at once a pure collector’s whim and a sustainable editorial enterprise saving on paper.
