Vintage Dollhouse Miniature Books Lot of 17 Classics Library Pitt Ginsburg
Another terrific collection of 17 vintage miniature books, featuring an eclectic little library of literary classics, reference books, children\'s titles and colorful decorative bindings, from the personal collection of noted miniatures collector Pitt Ginsburg.
These tiny volumes have wonderful shelf appeal, with covers in deep green, royal blue, red, cream, brown and burgundy, embellished with miniature gold-tone lettering, borders and ornamental designs. The slight variations in size, color and wear make them look much more convincing when grouped together in a miniature bookcase.

Rather than filling an entire shelf with identical props, these have the wonderful appearance of books that a miniature resident might actually have accumulated over a lifetime, from Shakespeare, Jules Verne and James Joyce to Kipling, Milne and Bambi.
Condition
Vintage pre-owned condition with age-related rubbing, edge wear, fading and finish variation. Some volumes show more wear than others. This gives the grouping a particularly convincing vintage-library character.

Measurements: approx. 1/2\" x 1\"
A delightful ready-made library in miniature, with enough variety to fill a bookcase, scatter a few volumes across a desk, and perhaps leave Moby Dick face-down beside a tiny armchair for someone to finish later. 📚
