Free Mini Books to Print – Ancient Maps and
Manuscripts from 12th and 14th Century - Mini Books
Obsession
Here are some printable mini books I’ve made with an ‘Ancient’ theme – the maps
were commissioned by Queen Mary 1 back in the 14th Century, and
finished after her death. They are held by the British Museum, and I found some
images online which I’ve enhanced and put into book form. The “Medicinal Herbs”
book I’ve made from images of 12th Century manuscripts.
The Atlas cover came out a bit dull on my printer, so I
embellished it with gold paint and some gold powder makeup (I also
did the edges of the pages with gold permanent marker to make it look more ‘special’).
See my tutorial here for
how to assemble them. Make sure you print with very narrow or no margins, with
best quality colour printing.
As these books (especially the ‘Herbs’ book) are quite thick, I’ve also glued a small strip of paper to
the back where all the pages join, to give
bit more strength and defined shape; and I’ve made the spine of the book wider.
You can print direct from the picture below, or click on the
link below the picture to download the PDF file (a bit better quality).

If you’d like to just print off one of the books, or would
like to re-size them (see how here),
I’ve added screenshots of each book below:

I hope you enjoy
these mini books. They have been designed by me for personal use, and are not
for re-sale.
