A Tiny Fairy Tale

There's something extra fun about miniature books. I made 15 of these as my final project for a Letterpress class. The text is handset metal Baskerville. Illustrations and calligraphy were done by hand and scanned so they could be used to make photopolymer plates. Text paper is Rives Lightweight, and the endsheets are mint green Bugra.












Full text: Once upon a time in a faraway land, there lived a damsel in distress. One day, the damsel got tired of waiting around to be rescued and decided to save herself. Eventually, after escaping the castle, swimming the crocodile-infested moat and slaying the fire-breathing dragon, she was free to live happily ever after. So she did. The End.



I want to try selling a few of them on my wepay store, but as ever with these things, appropriate pricing is so hard to figure out.
