Products – Tightly Bound Book – imaging of

earlybookreflector

With the “Earlybookreflector,” Dr Ian Christie-Miller has engineered an elegant solution to the problem of getting images from the pages of books that are too delicate to open without cracking the text block or spine. 

The device is impressively simple, yet it fits a need achingly felt by bibliographic researchers and booksellers alike.

Angled imaging in delicate books has always been a problem for me and for my colleagues.  I am grateful to Dr Christie-Miller for rescuing me from it.
