Jozsef Tari has been collecting miniature books since 1972, and is now the proud owner of over 4,500 literary works, including the world’s smallest book (2.9 x 3.2 mm).

“A printer by trade, Tari has always been fascinated by the written word, and in 1972 he began collecting miniature books. Most of the items in his collection are in Hungarian, but he also has quite a few from the US, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Indonesia and Japan. Ironically, he only has a few books from the countries neighboring Hungary. As far as topics are concerned, Jozsef Tari is interested in everything from religion to sports, literature and even cooking, but he only collects books that are 76 mm in size, or smaller. His collection features books that are over 100 years old, but his most prized miniature is the world’s smallest book – it measures only 2.9 x 3.2 millimeters and fits into a nutshell.

Apart from the 4,500 books in his collection, Tari also has 15 kinds of miniature newspapers, including the smallest in the world, which measures only 19 x 26 mm.” 

(However I do believe there is a new world’s smallest book! I wonder if Tari will be adding it to his already amazing collection…)

Introducing Paper by FiftyThree 

We just launched our first product and I could not be more pleased with the result. 

Paper is where ideas begin. It’s the easiest and most beautiful way to create on iPad. Capture your ideas as sketches, diagrams, illustrations, notes or drawings and share them across the web. Download “Paper by FiftyThree” free from the App Store. Then buy tools in the in-App store.

What’s special for everyone on Tumblr, is that you can share pages directly from Paper as a post. We noticed that people use Tumblr just like a digital notebook, and now you have a way to create pages. It’s simple and beautiful. Give it a try.

Create on.
