What Is a Miniature Book Society?
The
Miniature Book Society, Inc. is an international non-profit
organization chartered in 1983 by the State of Ohio. Its purposes
are to sustain an interest in all phases of miniature books,
to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and to
serve as a clearing house for information about miniature
books. MBS is an organization interested in promoting ALL
aspects of the book arts; we just happen to like
small format.
What Is a Miniature Book?
In
the United States, a miniature book is usually considered
to be one which is no more than three
inches in size--height, width or thickness. Some collectors
do occasionally acquire slightly larger books. Outside
of the United States, books up to four inches are collected
as miniature books.
What Is a Miniature
Book Conclave?
Each year the Miniature Book Society
holds an annual gathering of MBS members; these annual
meetings are referred to as Conclaves. The Conclaves
are held in a different place every year. Recent Conclaves
have been held in Charleston,
South Carolina, Germany, Rutland, Vermont, Indianapolis,
Indiana, Covington, Kentucky,
and Toronto, Canada, Bath, England. There are speakers,
workshops, tours, auctions, book swap meet, and other
fun things to do.
