The press's first attempt at the record for the smallest letterpress printed book in the world, but the honor was withheld as the work was subsequently declared a pamphlet rather than a book by the British Library, its contents being a catalog. A legendary rarity, according to the publisher's on-line bibliography, "Copies were stolen from the press. Only a few have survived."
