There are many exhibitions on mobile Books that have been held
in different parts of the world.
Thanks to them we have been able to discover hundreds of books
hidden in the collections of libraries or in the libraries of lovers of
this type of book.
I leave you a selection here so you can search and see what
wonders contained all of them.
