I found nothing in a search of sources (archive.org, google books, proquest, google) except for 1 or 2 company listings (which is very few). The first book used as a source does not actually mention the company, as far as I can tell (nothing in a text search or their indexes). The second source I could not check but given it was added by the person who added the first one I doubt it does either (and seems to predate the company?). Does not pass GNG or NCORP.

Delete. I found an obviously non-RS youtube video that describes Miniboox as a modern spinoff of Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig, and claims that the family has been making books since the late 19thC. Searching that company name on archive.org, I find non-sigcov directory listings as far back as 1993. However, I don't find Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig in the 4,000 Years of Tiny Treasures. In ProQuest, I found a non-WP:NORG-qualifying one-sentence mention of Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig's Moby Dick. Maybe if I could figure out how to spell the family name mentioned in that YouTube video, there'd be lots of thrilling 20thC coverage of this family business under yet another former name, but I can't find anything useful for either Miniboox or Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:33, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Checked Google Scholar too in case they were showing up in articles on miniature books -- nada, just two citations to individual Miniaturbuchverlag Leipzig editions with no mention of the publisher in the prose at all. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:38, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
