Okay, seriously, I can’t even fathom a book this small. At just under 3 mm, this little leather bound book was printed like any other publication, but all the tools to print and bind it had to be made in miniature form.
German typographer Joshua Reichert designed the alphabet font that adorns the pages and the book comes with a magnifying glass so you can actually read it. 300 copies of the edition were printed and cost £70. Apparently the last remaining few are being sold by Selfridges - get yours while you still can.

I own a copy.
That is just too COOL! I love the little things!
FIRST!
What’s the book about?
Each page of the book features a letter of the alphabet - the typeface was designed by Joshua Reichert and a special press had to be created to print each of the letters on the tiny pages. Totally wish I had one, although I don’t know where I would keep it. i’d be worried about losing such a tiny thing…
Wow, that’s pretty useless.
Sooo cute! I believe in Liliputians!
So, can we open it by hand or we always need that scalpel type thing for assist?
