I was wondering if someone with Folio 60 might help me regarding the Folio miniatures that were published in the 1990s. I have six of them:
The Pied Piper of Hamelin
Fifty Folio Epigrams
Sir Patrick Spens
Fifty Folio Love Poems
The Lady of Shalott
The Raven
...and I was wondering which ones I might be missing. A quick google search didn't help, but I'm sure that this group will step forward!

I have The Garden and Other Poems by Andrew Marvell, 1993 with Harry Brockway illustrations.

Glad you mentioned "Covent Garden memories and traditions", drasvola, as I was unaware of the earlier miniature series of which it is a part. Folio 60 identifies 3 others in the group, Pyne's royal residences, The Royal Pavilion, Brighton, and The London Zoo, all from 1976 with the measurements being 187/6 X 124 X 7.
coynedj, Folio 60 ID's your six plus Marvell as the full series with volume measurements of 116 X 83 X 8.
Hi Joe Toad, the Blake edition stands alone and measures 162 X 109 X 16.
I'm missing Sir Patrick Spens and The Pied Piper. Piper was just up on ebay and was bid up quickly to more than I wanted to spend, but I was happy to see some pics, loved the rats endpapers.

There were these seven books in the series that coynedj asks about.
1991 The Lady of Shallot
1992 The Pied Piper of Hamelin
1992 Garden Poems
1993 Sir Patrick Spens
1994 The Raven
1995 Fifty Folio Epigrams
1996 Fifty Folio Love Poems
They were all bound in moiré silk and were within a mm or two of 116 x 83 x 8 mm.
The other books mentioned above were larger.
Covent Garden (186 x 124 x 7 mm) was one of 12 volumes in Michael Joseph's series of 'Folio Miniatures', which were published 'in association later 'co-operation' with the Folio Press' in 1975-77.
Songs of Innocence (162 x 109 x 16 mm) was published in 1992.

I put some of these into a Publishers Series in Common Knowledge:
http://www.librarything.com/publisherseries/Folio+Society+miniature+poetry
so if anyone would like to finish the job, it would be a good public service.
Edited to add that, in the light of pythagoras's information above, it looks as if I did a better job than I thought at the time.
