Comments:
- Both the Measurements and the Weight are approximate.
- To take the photos of the Inside Pages, they have been held with tweezers.
- Miniature book ideal as a collector's item.
- Due to the unavoidable differences in tonalities between photos and reality, it must be taken into account that the tones of the colours in the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The Miniature Book for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos, which in turn are complemented in this Description, with the aim of providing a better knowledge of the Object, and never to be a detailed exposition of it.
