[254] pages. Illustrations. Printed in double columns, reduced to eight columns to a page. A bizarre publication that reprinted the photographically reduced 1901 David Bryce & Son Bible, but printing four miniature book-sized pages on every one of these pages. It has transformed it from a miniature book that was issued with a magnifying glass and was the smallest Bible in the world at that time, to a completely unreadable pocket-sized book with no magnifier to read it. There is little surprise that this is an extremely uncommon edition of a Bryce book licensed to Bryce's earliest advertiser and that this is one of the last collaborations the two companies were involved in together. Pages uniformly age-toned. No inscriptions. 60 x 90 mm. Original blue tinted glossy paper covers. Staple bound, as issued. The Mellin's logo is surrounded by block printed titling and an elaborate floral border with putto corner-pieces at the top. Staple is rusty, as is commonly the case. Two short closed tears in the outer edge of the upper cover. Not in Bondy, nor Spielmann, nor Welsh. OCLC, 311074170. WorldCat records two copies worldwide (Wesleyan, and Dunedin Libraries).
