#unique books

This tiny book, measuring only 5mm by 5mm, is a prayer book called “The Lord’s Prayer” and contains the prayer in seven languages. The print is so fine that it cannot be read with the naked eye. It was made in 1952, as one of a few hunderd copies, by the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, to finance restoration works. Together with the small book, it was sold with its metal printing plates, which are bigger than the prayer book itself. This weekend, it was sold in Brussels for 3,500 euros (x,x)
