MINIATURE BOOK PROSPECTUSES (& Other Marketing Material): A-L

I also collect Prospectuses and other marketing material for Miniature Books. I love how some prospectuses are also in miniature! I think prospectuses are a great way to learn and share information about miniature books, but they often have their own charm, as you will see below. 

(CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE)

These prospectuses are listed in the alphabetical order of the publishers' names--featured are prospectuses (some in the guise of miniature-sized publications), catalogs, and other related materials (Footnoted nos. denote sources).

The list below is for Publishers whose names begin with A-L.

The list for Publishers whose names begin with M-Z are listed HERE.
