The following
is an overview of the six books that will be sent as the
third Paper Minis Book-of-the-Month Club. If you aren't
familiar with Paper Minis miniature books, you will glean
some insight to their unusual quality by clicking on the
close-up links. From the photos you will see that the pages are incredibly crisp and clear
and all text is re-typeset at a tiny but readable font
(again see the close-up links!) Only the best quality
materials are used to make these top-of-the-line kits. Photo
tutorials are always available with Paper Minis
Book-of-the-Month Club editions. As the books become ready,
you will be able to read an in-depth description for each.
If you missed the subscription
deadline, you may request from me a "PayPal Request for

bc301a ~ The
Paper Minis' Foldout Book of Victorian-Era
Dollhouses,
designed and compiled by Ann Vanture
Size: 23mmw x 32mmh x 4.5mmd (cover), 23mmw x
25mmh (text page)
Number of Pieces: Laminated cover, 4 foldout
rooms with flooring, 100% silk tie ribbon.
Description:
This book is an homage to all the dollhouses of the
Victorian era. The photography was manipulated to
fit the original Paper Minis paper-engineering
design of four foldout rooms. The images are a
collage and editing of a variety of photos taken of
old dollhouse rooms. By altering these images, a
collection was created of the correct dimensions to
fit in the scheme of the design. The house cover
(front and back) is an edited photo of an antique
dollhouse. When tied back at a 360 degrees you will
have a living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen--with
a built-in meat locker.
