We wonder, perhaps, the reason for the existence of such small books which are difficult to read. Their historical origin is a practical sense, represented a small stand where you could move a lot of information, and weighing no effort posed no transport.
The first books were religious and were designed to carry around, books of hours, briefs, etc. were tailored in the most small and short as possible to be always close the "word of God."
Then came mini calendars, which are also engaged in a minimum size, so that could be carried in pockets of the vests of the gentlemen or the ladies' purses. Marketed in exquisite boxes, accompanied by a magnifying glass of dimensions proportional to the booklets, which in turn are bound in luxury leather, pearl, ivory, tortoiseshell, filigree, enamel, silk, embroidery, silver and gold ... Becoming gems. Today
the sense that these books are the valuation of credit for their manufacture craft and "miniaturization", true works of art sought after by collectors ...

Of course, as what concerns us in these pages are the miniatures, in general, and we can apply to doll houses and scenes particular, we worked a bit in the process of "miniaturization" of a book, which I will present in my next entry.
