Why You'll Love It
A wonderfully clever 1:12 scale vintage micro miniature book titled Stock Market, written by Miriam D. Irwin and published by Mosaic Press in 1982. This tiny yet substantial volume is fully readable with the naked eye and exemplifies the craftsmanship for which Mosaic Press miniature books are so admired.
Bound in a rich blue leather cover with gilt-style detailing, the book features crisp printed text and small graphic illustrations throughout its tiny pages. It explores the theme of the stock market, a delightful nod to economics in miniature form.
Perfectly suited for a dollhouse study, office, library, or gentleman’s desk.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
