Abstract
Description
This is a collection of materials stored in a red half leather and marbled paper case. The case consists of a tray containing various pockets that store four leather bound books (Three copies of the rose garden of Omar Khayyam of varying sizes and A Thimbleful of Books by Eben Thompson), a paper pamphlet, an envelope of a proof sheet from the smallest book in the world, and a metal magnifier. There is also a single leaf removed from a book seller’s catalog (Chas. J. Sawyer Ltd.) that contains the description of the collection with a price of 30 pounds. It reads, “…only 150 copies printed from plates with ink on paper… printed by the Commonwealth Press, Worchester, Mass., 1932.”
