Miniaturia, The World of Tiny Things

More than two years ago, 0. C. Lightner, publisher of Hobbies magazine, recognized the rapidly growing interest in miniatures and accordingly developed a section in his publication for collectors of scale models, tinies and oddities, entitled Miniaturia; whence the name of the !)resent volume. Prior to that time, there was no section in any publication in the United States where miniature collectors could exchang.e ideas or experiences. The response to the miniature section in Hobbies led Mr. Lightner to ask me to write this book.
