Miniatura

All of our books are fully printed, miniature versions of the full-sized originals, and are hand-bound in our book-binders workshops in the South West of England.  With more than 50 titles ranging from Pride & Prejudice to Murder on the Orient Express, from Mrs Beeton to Bradshaw and from the Bible to Alice in Wonderland; you’re sure to find something to suit your dollshouse.

We are a family business – Terry and Anne originally started making our miniature books in 2005, with a small range of 24 titles. Now most of our titles are available in a variety of sizes and binding styles, to fit perfectly into your dolls house; we also make a wide range of newspapers and other printed items and Andrew, Doug, Paul, Dani, Chris and Christine also help out too!

Also our speciality “PERSONALISED PHOTOGRAPH ALBUMS” please contact us for details

We post anywhere in the world. Our postage rates depend on destination and number of books, so wait until you add some books to your basket to calculate.

Regrettably we no longer attend fairs
