Pocket Classics

Miniature books are perfect for carrying around and are even small enough to tuck into a pocket. These small portable volumes, with surprisingly easy-to-read text, allow readers to keep their favorite book with them at all times. The book can be kept on hand for the comfort of knowing it is there or to read in between moments of activity. No matter why it is there, it is always good to have a book in your pocket.

This exhibition is organized by Rare Books Curator Cassie Brand.
