Riverside, CA: Bo Press Miniature Books, 2022. Hardcover. Pat Sweet describes herself as creating illuminated miniature books of curiosity, humor, and delight. She creates both miniature (under 3 inches) and macro-miniature (under 1 inch) books. She designs, prints, and binds all of her books and builds (by hand) all of her sculptural items. According to the artist: This is "a medieval version of Windows, allowing several books to be consulted at the same time. These rotating bookshelves came in two variations: vertical and horizontal. The horizontal ones were much easier to make and to use, taking up much less space while making it easier to consult several books at once." This miniature version is made of cherry with mahogany trim and antique brass accents, and a matching stool. It has two revolving turntables, the upper one smaller than the lower so that as many as ten books could be viewable by turning the wheels. There is a writing surface at the left with a sheet of an illuminated manuscript in progress, plus several scribe's tools: two inkwells with pens, a water container, a bottle of ink and a large chained volume with a brass closure. The two rotating wheels hold ten books, some fixed open and some with brass closures. All the books have blank pages. They are bound in paper copies of actual period bindings. Size: 2 3/4 inches (desk height); 6 inches (turntable with desk height); 7 inches wide x 3 3/8 deep. In fine condition. ARTB/032023. Fine. More
