Miniature books first came into fashion back in 1475, when the tiny tomes were produced as novelties, then printers began producing the small volumes to show off their skills. 
It took a great deal of technical knowledge and talent to produce these perfectly printed books in such a minuscule size. Books are generally considered “miniature” if they do not exceed 100 mm in height, width or thickness, they all contain perfectly legible print just like their full-size counterparts and some even contain surprisingly detailed pictures.
Miniature books can come in all types of subjects from art to politics, to cookery and everything in between. Some also come with unusual covers made of china, carved wood or tooled leather.
