Russian scientist Vladimir Aniskin which produced the smallest book in the world, and for the application of Guinness world records.

Drawing from the Siberian city of Novosibirsk (Novosibirsk) super miniature pictures of Vladimir Aniskin spent the five years, to develop the 70 microns wide and high of 90 microns (or width 0.07 mm, 0.09 mm high) miniature technology production. He spent a month's time, the pure Handmade out two of this mini book, the first of which was named Levsha. Author Nicola Les Kfeu (Nikolai Leskov) in nineteenth Century, wrote one called "The Steel Flea" (iron flea story). In the story, a success to a man-made spring flea and nailed the shoe heel from Tula craftsmen, defeated the colleagues from the UK. Aniskin in the pages of levsha wrote in his words, to "flea spikes palm" super miniature picture carvers name. While the second book Alphabet is printed with a line of Russian alphabet.

Aniskin the use of offset printing text printed on the film is only three or four microns thick. The most difficult part of the whole process, he says, is to bind the pages in order to be read. His choice of diameter of only 5 micron tungsten filament as the pages of "spring", and put a miniature book finished in the top half stars poppy seeds on the surface of a piece of gold foil. The pages printed on both sides of the text, a sharp needle is used "finger flip reader".

"The book is 70 microns wide and 90 microns high, 88 times smaller than the smallest of the Guinness world records, and 67 times smaller than the Russian native record," Aniskin said in an interview. At present, the Guinness world records in the smallest mini book from Japan, is a manuscript of 0.74mm*0.75mm, called "of the Four Seasons Flowers (four seasons flowers)". The Book of Records Russian (Russian record) that the smallest mini size of 0.644mm*0.660mm, printed on the above is the Russian national anthem. Guinness will also be identified 0.07mm*0.1mm the turnip town of small TED (teeny ted from turnip town "is so far the smallest reprint books in print.

Aniskin currently in the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of Science) Siberian Branch of theoretical and Applied Mechanics Research Institute of theoretical and Applied Mechanics), he intends to 10 the levsha and alphabet miniature book production. "I love the small things, is really very interesting" mini book, he said. Aniskin in 1998 began to set foot in super miniature picture rendering field, after he had successfully in a pin of the eye of a needle made a caravan, of course, there are his own the nail the shoe heel of the flea.

"My own invention and production tools, each creation, I pinch with your fingers in my work. Even every heartbeat will affect the fine work in their hands, so can only take advantage of the heart space complete Mini works, "Aniskin wrote on his website that.
