The portability of miniature books makes them perfect for carrying and using throughout daily life. A large portion of the Julian and Hope Edison Collection of Miniature Books consists of genres of books meant for everyday use, such as almanacs, calendars and diaries. These genres are commonly printed in smaller sizes and often include space intended to make notes.
