It would be extremely easy to adapt these for dollhouse scale (1/12) - Just print the covers at 50% size and divide all my measurements by half. You might have to used something other than wood for the insides because of the new measurements.
Actually, if you wanted books that opened like real, you could make interior pages and insert them instead of the wood. You could use that method I used waaaaay back on the scrapbook, just adjust the page size. I may do this at a later date, I just didn't want to spend that kind of time on this round.

Oh, this side is just fine. Like you, I'm using them for dolls, only mine are Kirk and Spock. *g* The dollhouse size were just the only ones I could find. They're a bit small but can be seen as paperbacks.

That would take time! But with these, at least the covers open up, which is enough for me.
And I caught the correction you posted for the measurements, so thanks!
Alternately, if you have a good eye and a steady hand (to cut straight) there are very inexpensive, small hobby saws (of various styles) at your nearest hardware store. I just find that I need the miter box because I can't consistently cut straight. You *must* get a miter box made from metal - Plastic or wood is absolutely pointless as it cuts up with the saw!

I must say I am not in the least surprised to find the works of both Conan Doyle and De Sade in Ianto's collection.
These turned out great!

I actually really like De Sade and like that I found one to include. :)))
Thanks! I'm quite thrilled, actually... Something about the ENTIRE bookshelf being entirely handmade... I kind of impressesed *myself*, in the end.
