Miniature Libraries.

A curious idea in book making Is
offered by firm of French publishers
Their plan consists Of substituting for
the large pages Of the average books
interchangeable reproductions Or
them to be read through a magnifylng
glass. .&".. 81,
1t is proposed that the size OF the
plates representing pages should be III
ternationaly standardized, SO chat any
one possessing the ,nagnifying appara'
tus would be able to read any BOOK
produced in this way. No techncal
difficulties are said 10 be in the way.
1t is claimed that the cost OF pro-
duction would be enormously reduced.
Also it would greatly reduce the work
of libraries now numbered by books
Of every shape and size. The plates
would be, moreover, of a fire-proof
and durable material, while the system
admits Of an edition being enlarged 10
any dimension desired in accordance
with demand.
