202136780Riverside CA: Bo Press Miniature Books 2021. Fine. Number 21 of 30 variant copies. Each copy is in a different box bound in papers to match the box. Pat Sweet describes herself as creating illuminated miniature books of curiosity humor and delight. She creates both miniature under 3 inches and macro-miniature under 1 inch books. This book is from a limited edition which is signed by the artist. According to the book artist: "Bo Press Miniature Books began in 2007 with a little book called Celestial Variations. Since then another one hundred and forty-seven one hundred and forty-eight now books have emerged with subjects as diverse as maps of real and imaginary places poetry architecture history flea circuses and books themselves.<br /> The History of Bo Press is a collection of every book I've ever written illustrated designed and published that I can remember since then. This is a fairly easygoing bibliography and a few lacunae are to be expected from someone like me who hates to keep records. The book listings include title author illustrator and pages." Both volumes are bound in tan marbled paper with paper title labels to spines and front boards. Housed in a slipcase covered in marbled paper and off-white handmade paper with a metal chain lining the seams of where the papers meet. Each volume is 170 pages. Size: Books: 2 3/4 x 2 1/8 inches; Case: 3 x 2 1/4 x 1 5/8 inches. ARTB/091123. Bo Press Miniature Books unknown
