Like Real Books, But Cuter
Shrink anything down small enough and, eventually, it will get ridiculously cute — including books. This week, The Tiny Book Show, a mobile museum of teeny-tiny books, will appear, for a short time, in Shelburne Falls and Greenfield. The hundreds of books in the library were created by artists and writers around the world, as well as children. The initial challenge, by organizers The Creativity Caravan, was for students and artists to create “How To” books no more than 3 inches tall. The results, How to Make Killer Egg Salad, How to Annoy Your Siblings, and How to Do Nothing, among others, were such a hit, the caravan is reaching out to expand the library.
