One of the very first “grown-up” books that I read as a child was a fabulous edition of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel Treasure Island. I can’t be certain, but I believe that it was a well-worn copy with wonderful illustrations by N.C. Wyeth, like the one pictured above. So any stories about the book have a strong nostalgic pull for me.

The Captain’s Map is a micro-miniature book containing a sheet of text from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island and color map, each 78 x 30 mm, folded to 20 x 16 mm, along with a Bo Press bookmark, slipped in. The portfolio is bound in beige Japanese paper, and lined with paper printed with old map. It contains a tinted copy of the map on the recto. Published by Bo Press, the tiny Treasure Island is the work of miniaturist genius Pat Sweet.
