Complete, original six-volume set of The Marvelous Miniature Library, published by the Miniature Dictionary Publishers (New York) and beautifully crafted in France. This rare travel collection features six distinct classic works, each meticulously bound in its own colored leather miniature pouch with working decorative snaps.
Included Titles:
Paradise Lost by John Milton (Blue Leather)
Love and Other Stories by Guy de Maupassant (Tan Leather)
The Golden Treasury of English Songs (Green Leather)
The Arabian Nights Entertainments (Brown Leather)
Hamlet and Macbeth by William Shakespeare (Maroon Leather)

The set is in Good vintage condition with honest, age-appropriate wear. The main dark brown leather carrying case remains sturdy with highly legible gold-gilt lettering on the front cover. The red leather interior remains vibrant and features the crisp, original "Made in France" blind stamp.
The main pouch shows rubbing along the outer spine corners and structural tearing/softening directly around the metal snap closure on the upper interior lip. The individual volume pouches have crisp gold lettering and detailing. The green Golden Treasury pouch shows surface leather peeling and cracking near its closure snap. The other five mini-pouches are well-preserved with light edge rubbing. Pages inside the volumes are clean, intact, and securely bound.
