A PRISTINE copy of the world’s smallest English dictionary has emerged after sitting in a tin for more than a century.

Published by Glasgow printer David Bryce in 1890, the book, which measures an inch by ¾ of an inch, is so small the case it is in can be worn as a locket. The dictionarywill be on show at the Chelsea Book Fair in London on 2 and 3 November.
