patchworkbunny reviewed In Miniature by Simon Garfield
Review of 'In Miniature' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Simon Garfield's latest book examines the world of miniature items, from villages and railways to slave ships and crime scenes. He meets lots of passionate people and talks about miniatures throughout history. I made the mistake of listening to this via audiobook and I would have loved to have seen photos of some of the miniature items described.
It didn't feel like it had an overall point about miniature items, despite the subtitle of the book. He mentions a few times how we examine things more closely when miniaturised, but mostly it felt a like a jolly ramble through various small things the author quite likes.
