What an amazing piece of work! This was my 2nd MiniCity build, (my 11th nook completed) and compared to the first MiniCity kit I did (Pianist with Nightingale-very challenging, very delicate) this one was a complete joy to do! It has greater than 700 pieces, which made it very detailed, and had a 5 star difficulty rating, which I think has more to do with the time commitment on this piece, rather than it being overly delicate & complicated. Most of the components were snap together, which I personally prefer, and were ‘snug’, so you still had to be careful, and not be too aggressive and break the pieces, but my kit pieces fit perfectly with the right amount of pressure! It’s a sturdy piece of work, and I just can’t get over all the detail within it! I love the side ‘windows’ so that you can see what is going on in the back! I also like that this kit comes with glue- I am a fan of the B7000 glue, the fine tip edge comes in VERY handy for the very small pieces that require gluing. I also use my own favorite mixed media craft glue for the bigger pieces. This kit also came with a tiny mallet, which is very cute, but I was too nervous to hammer too many of my pieces together- I did use it for a couple hard to snap together pieces, but very sparingly- still, a nice (cute) touch for this kit. I also think the dust cover is a must (which this kit has) to keep your work clean & dust free. I highly recommend this nook, you don’t have to be a fan of Hemingway to appreciate the intricate detail in this piece! But the tribute to him is very cool! It was not as hard as I was anticipating, but I wouldn’t start with this one as a beginner. I think this one is a must do for fans of book nooks/miniatures!!

Great quality, easy to read instructions. Great gift ideas. Had lots of fun putting together.

I gave this Book Nook Kit as a present to a booklover, and it was an absolute hit! The quality is fabulous—sturdy materials, crisp details, and a beautiful design that really brings the miniature scene to life. The LED light adds a cozy glow, and the dust cover keeps it looking pristine. It’s full of intricate touches that make it feel like a tiny world tucked between the books. A perfect blend of creativity and craftsmanship—truly a special gift!

Amazing! Mini city makes such high quality beautiful book nooks! Cannot reccomend enough

Just finished this build a couple days ago. Overall very beautiful book nook. The general look is kinda dark, so it's better in a well lit space. There are 5 light sources on the model with some blue tones so it makes a lovely moody look when it's on. The set comes with everything you need. The only negative I can say is that the instructions have small images, plus it's a dark set, so sometimes it's not super clear which hole you're supposed to insert the next piece...but if it's not you're first nook or if you're just careful and look at the next few steps, you can figure it out. I loved it. Get it.

This a great, challenging booknook. It was one of my favorite to put together. Mini city is pretty good, (although 1 was not so much) Start with one w a mini hammer, save it, you'll use it with every one you do. Save all the glues..you'll never run out and you'll have extra for some that don't include glue. Read reviews, compare prices and try one company at a time. Have fun!

Sleeping Beauty is really beautiful and so detailed. It was worth the week of work I put into it. I have made 70-75 booknooks over the last 4 years and have to admit I had a hard time with some of the steps. The images in the manual were not sharp enough, so much time was spent on studying placement, but took my time. The pieces are sturdy; no issue with breakage. The lighting was easy (8) of them. The manual is 40 pages in color. The rated difficulty should be higher than stated in listing. If you are experienced with model building, I highly recommend it. This is not a build for beginners

Turned out fine but was not my favorite by far. The glue was dried out, the pieces broke easily, and some of the ways the instructions explained things didn’t make sense. Wiring was much better than several of the book nooks I have completed and the overall design was really nice, just frustrating at times.
